Alerting ( 23:24:37 SatJan 25 2003 )
Should an Acol strong 2 club bid be alerted ?
Also should the 2 diamond negative be alerted ?

Unfortunately we cannot answer your query without further information. :sad:

Where do you play? The regulations for alerting are different from country to country, and are also different for online bridge. If you tell us where you play then we can help.

Re Alerting of Acol strong 2 club bids.

In England all calls that are not natural require an alert. As a result, an Acol 2 opening and an artificial 2 response thereto are alertable.

However, it is difficult to see how the opponents are going to be damaged if someone forgets. :sad:

Note that discussions are underway for the next Orange book, and there is a feeling that after fifteen years of unchanged alerting, the time may have come for sweeping changes because the game has changed so much. :smile:

It took us about nine years of unchanged regulations for people last time to stop saying that we changed them every year! :sad:
