Meckstroth and Rodwell

[TMorris]

Out of interest, can you not announce this as "weak to intermediate"?

[blackshoe]

If I'm not mistaken, the technical answer to that question is "no". Announcements are supposed to made as specified in the regulations, not modified even in an attempt to be helpful.

[TMorris]

ok thanks. I just remember seeing somewhere that you could say this. I thought it was in the Laws forum but could well have been mistaken.

If you want to know what the rules are, a good starting point is to read them.

Announcements – Two of a Suit Openings

5 D 1 A natural opening bid of two of a suit is announced by stating the range into which it falls, from the following categories. Partner of the opener says the words shown.

(a) “Strong, forcing” (b) “Strong, not forcing”

(c ) “Intermediate” (d) “Weak”

5 D 2 It is possible to play a wide-ranging opening that covers more than one category, in which case the announcement should say so. Examples are:

(a) “Intermediate to strong, forcing” or (b) “Weak to Intermediate”

So yes, you may announce it as "weak to intermediate"

LOL OP !

 

Meckwell have one of the best convention cards out there. Most pairs don't fill basic details while they give quite detailed explanation of basic sequences in their system (this at least is true for their WBF conventino card).

 

As someone already noted their ACBL (as well as WBF) convention card actually says "Mixed" for 1H-3H.
