Attention Players playing Mid-Chart methods:
Effective July 1, 2001, players using Mid-Chart methods that require suggested
defenses for the opponents must download these defenses from the ACBL web
page and have them available for the opponents.
We have a short message for players who wish to play certain Mid-Chart
methods: there are no more yellow books.
What does this mean? In case you don't know about the yellow book, it was
the publication that contained the defenses to Mid-Chart methods such as
the Multi 2D. Players could pick up yellow books and carry them around
for the benefit of their opponents.
Repeat: there are no more yellow books.
Instead, a player who wishes to use certain Mid-Chart methods must go to
the ACBL web site on the Internet (http://www.acbl.org ) and check the Mid-Chart section under "Conventions"
to determine if the method is permitted. If it is, the player is obliged
to print out the defense to the method and take it with him to the table.
Players who do not do this will not be permitted to play Mid-Chart methods
that are covered by this regulation. Mid-Chart methods marked with an asterisk
do not require written defenses.
