Flem72 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Asking here so I at least have a chance of not being forced to try to decipher the charts. I've seen various statements of the GCC HCP parameters for opening at the two level with two suiters, both suits known. I can't always be sure that I'll be allowed to play up, so I try to keep things GCC-legal: anyone have the definite skinny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wank Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Am I being dense or does the GCC omit the standard weak 2♦? http://web2.acbl.org/documentLibrary/play/Convention-Chart.pdf The gcc doesn't regulate natural bids because they didn't have the right to do when it was formulated.
