Re: alerting unusual leads ( 23:17:46 TueFeb 11 2003 )
The actual Law is Law 40 which controls all partnership understandings. However, alerting is always subject to regulation by the sponsoring organisation, which in most countries is either the national body or, for lesser events, follows the regulations of the national body.

Actually I do not know of anywhere that requires the alerting of unusual leads, except that in North America small leads from a doubleton must be pre-alerted. I shall ask about Irish alerting and get back to you.

Just to clarify:
In the ACBL, leading low from a doubleton requires a "Pre-Alert", that is, the opponents must be notified prior to the beginning of each round.
