how can one learn new things if not allowed to play or defend them. Multi is popular in europe but not in the US while weak 2 bids are popular in the us and not in europe. I think we should be encouraged to try new things as this is how we all get better. the juniors are incredibly good and are like little sponges so they should be alllowed to play most conventions (including Multi) in their tournaments. i am sure that there are places to play where no conventions ae allowed for anyone who doesnt want to play against unusual things. why not go by the wbf rules which is to allow anything except brown sticker conventions. lynn deas
