Is the bid Two over One alertable?

I assume what you are asking is, "Is a nonjump 2-level suit response to a 1-level suit opening alertable if it promises game values?"
Different organizations have different alert procedures. In the ACBL, such a 2/1 bid is no longer alertable. In some versions of "2/1", a partnership may stop below game on certain auctions, such as: 1S-2D 2S-3D pass or 1S-2D 2S-2NT 3D-pass or even: 1S-2H 3H-pass or 1D-2C 2NT-pass None of the "2/1" bids are alertable any more. My interpretation of the Orange book suggests it is not alertable in England either, but I will defer to Mr. Stevenson on that one.

As Jim puts it, if you are playing 2/1 as a game force then it is alertable in England and Wales, though [to be fair to Jim] I think it is not particularly clear in the Orange book. I shall take a note for the next Orange book which I am currently preparing.
If you want to knwo the answer in another country I may be able to answer you, or someone else may, but please tell us which country.
