Individual tourneys with preset system by default

[coyot]

I guess it would be a good idea to require TDs of Individual events to preselect a system that is going to be used in the tournament.

 

For a start, there could be the following:

BBOB, BBOA, SAYC, SA21, ACOL, WJ, Precison

 

The TD could have the option to "allow" usage of any system the partners decide to agree upon. Selecting the system would automatically append it's definition to the Tournament Rules, possibly allowing changes.

 

Then the individual events would gain their real value, because your play wouldn't have to be based on guessing what bids will partner understand.

 

I know this would put a strain on the TDs who would have to deal with complaints against out-of-system artifical bids... So there could also be the "no system" option which would allow for the current chaotic indies - but this option should have to be manually selected and generally advised not to be used.
