+1 for Gib/Gib

Might be useful to make the bracket work too.

My friend Flycycle has a strong club system under construction, and just about complete, not too dis similar to precision. We would like to participate in the competition but I probably would not be able to get by without checking the system notes. Subject to this being OK please enter us (Flycycle - Wackojack) If not, no worries.

It seems notes have been more or less approved... remember this is fun. I can tell you for the most part, they will not help anyway (unless they are incredibly detailed). I know when i was in college one professor allowed "open book" final. Needless to say for that final, a book was not at all helpful.

One thing you can't do is ask your partner or talk to your partner about the bidding. Ok to discuss at the end of each hand befoe the teaching table guy throws the next one up.

Oh and I vote for no notes allowed. (Just because we don't have any, of course ;) )

I think on the honor system no notes should be allowed either, remembering is part of the system. But I'm also biased, not only do we not have notes but my partner has a perfect memory!

My vote is for no system notes and no bbo CC card. Memory aids are not allowed at the table, neither should they be allowed online.

I'm really looking forward to see how jdonn-gib performs!

I can't bid the two weeks after the nationals.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I also support the idea of no notes and no convention cards. Perhaps at the table, there should be some time limit for bids as well?

I'd like to request that memory aids be permitted:

Free and I would like to give MOSCITO a whirl.

We aren't playing in a serious partnership right now and I'm not fluent in his variant of the relay structures.

I could certainly go out and invest a bunch of time, memorize the system, bid out these hands, and then put this all on the back shelf and forget it once again.

In all seriousness, I have much better things to do with my time...
I'll do this if necessary, but this is a massive imposition with very little "upside".

I thought this was for fun, so digging up MOSCITO would fit the picture.

If no memory aids are allowed, it's pretty useless we try MOSCITO as we both will have to learn the entire system again, and we both don't have the time for this.

Richard and I express our request to allow memory aids. For everyone or only for us as an exception, whatever. But I ask you to reconsider this decision.
