alerting rules

Suit bids above 3NT after the first round that would otherwise require an alert must be alerted — but the alert is delayed until after the final pass. That's not quite the same thing as "not alertable". I haven't looked at the other examples.

I think you misunderstood. I was responding to a post that read "In the EBU there are never two non-alertable/-announceable meanings for a call.", and my comments related to the EBU alerting rules.

This is not true in the EBU, and Andy, I wasn't counting calls above 3NT, though I suppose I could have mentioned them. I didn't know that that pass of that redouble is not alertable ever. Maybe because it gives too much UI?

 

I think that help-suit and strength-showing bids are considered "natural" since they show length, which is defined as at least three cards. So, sort of like a second suit, although this criterion is rather odd.
