Passing a doubled transfer

[Vampyr]

then that stronly suggests that the EBU alert regulation is far from "simple and easy to apply" as was claimed by

yes, with doubles it's not that hard. With passes it is trickier, but the L&EC are probably going to make it clearer. What we have works and it can also be improved. Why let perfect be the enemy of good?

 

I can only notice that within a few weeks, there have been several EBU alert problem cases here that would not have existed if there would have been a simple "alert what your opponents might not understand" rule in force.

 

There have also been thousands of alerts that have been clear and correct. Do not forget that a large number, perhaps the majority, of the directors on these forums are in the EBU.

 

If your Dutch regulation makes Dutch players happy, then that is great. I personally would find it nightmarish to try and determine what each set of opponents, whether I knew them or not, might not understand.

 

But I simply won't buy it that all players at the table know that alert regulation by heart and understand it well enough to apply it properly. And that is demonstrated over and over again.

 

They do their best and it works for us.
