thepossum Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi everyone I have been playing a few ACBL individual tourneys on here and use the GiB 2/1 CC for robot tourneys obviously. However yesterday I actually read or tried to read the GCC referred to in Tourney rules. Am I alone in finding it a bit obscure in terminology in places. I am sure it is designed to allow all major conventions and systems but without intending any disrespect to ACBL its quite hard to understand and apply But I'm sure it covers most accepted CCs so not too worried.

hrothgar Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I am sure it is designed to allow all major conventions and systems FWIW, the GCC has been deprecated in favor of http://web2.acbl.org/documentLibrary/about/181AttachmentD.pdf The new convention charts are much better at defining vocabulary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnu Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 From what I've seen on ACBL tournament descriptions, the individual tournaments continue to specify the GCC. Some of the pair tournaments specify the new Open chart. Maybe somebody at BBO can clarify if/when they will change to the new convention charts for all ACBL tournaments.

The ACBL pair tournaments switched from GCC to Open Chart in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I don't think the individual tournaments specify any convention chart, since pairs don't have established agreements in the first place. Under the listing of ACBL Masterpoint Tournaments, if you click on one of the Individual tournaments, the description says "ACBL General Convention Chart applies". On the HTML5 version, it also says ACBL General Convention Chart applies if you click on Details. Individuals may be the wild west, but it's still possible to have advanced agreements, especially if you happen to get lucky and partner somebody you have played with several sessions or more.

Although the fleeting partnerships don't generally have detailed enough agreements that it matters what we say there; practically everyone just plays a simple variation of SAYC or 2/1. But I've asked the person responsible to update it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
