To add on to that, if you play 10-12 NONVUL and 15-17 VUL, would that be legal? At any one time, you only have a range of 3 HCP, but there are a total of 6 point-count ranges you can open 1NT with, as well as a total of 8 point-count ranges between your lowest and highest openings (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

I've been wanting to start playing a NT with two possible ranges (we'll say 10-12 and 18-19 to make things simple). After a reading of the ACBL General Convention Chart, the only reference I can find to two non-consecutive ranges is RESPONSES AND REBIDS, 10: This leads me to believe that my 1NT opening would indeed not only be legal, but that I'd be able to play anything over it. Am I correct in my thinking? Or have I missed anything somewhere? In addition, am I able to open a 1NT (and play conventions) when the 1NT meets the following criteria? (case-by-case) 10 10 OR 12 10-14 10-13 VUL; 13-16 NON-VUL 24-26 10-11 OR 15 OR 18-19 Thanks. :)
