The only reason I'm able to get away with my third / 4th seat opening club structure is the number of hand types that are excluded because they are preempts in first / second...

Isn't that a bit exaggerated?

What's the normal auction without the weird downgrade?

Free is right. I've miscounted my points again . Jasmine Club
North ♠ 632 ♥ Q984 ♦ AJT95 ♣ 5: _P 1♦ 2♣ 2♥3N
South ♠ AKJ ♥ K53 ♦ 82 ♣ AKJ62: 1♣ 1N 3N 2♦2N

• 1♣ = Art 16+
• 1♦ = Neg, 0-7.
• 1N = 18-20, Flat (In 3rd & 4th seat, 1N opener = Nat 16-18, flat).
  
• 2♣ = Lesage Stayman (Just an experiment).
• 2♦ = Art, No 4 M. May have 5 ♠.
• 2♥ = Relay.
• 2N = Min Denies 5 ♠
• 3N = Nat

Marks, IMO: 3N = 10. Partscores = 5. 4♥, 5♦ = 3.

Pass 2000
North will "open" with pass (0-7 or 17+), then in fourth seat:
1C (0-7 or 17+)-1D (0-7);
1NT (18-20)-3C (asking for five card major);
3D (no 5 card major) - 3S (4 hearts);
3NT

1♦-1nt : 0-7 or occ 8+ with <2 ctls; 18-19 bal
3♠-3nt : game forcing with 0-1♣; not worried about clubs

Would you please explain your auction?

Just so you know, in case it comes up again, I bid these with my partner in bunches (1-10 and 11-17 so far - we'll probably do them about once a week) and he doesn't see the other hands and I alternate which of us gets the strong club hand (unless there is a borderline non-1♣ opener in which case I give that hand to him to see if he preempts or opens in front of the club) and I enter in the auctions as they happen. Once we are through bidding the hands and discussing them, I go back to the threads and enter in the explanations (which is why sometimes there is a table result and a system result - as sometimes the discussion suggests a different auction). So I will be putting the explanations in, but sometimes it might be 5-30 mins after I put the auction and results in.

My auction starts with 2NT. I mentioned alternatives so you'd see how the strong ♣ auctions would work, but I think South is worth an upgrade (that's why I posted it first).

1♣1nt(0.6 imps better than 1♦)

Is 3nt the most likely contract when you open 1♣

Molybdenum Forcing Pass System:

S ---- N
P --- 1♣ (opening hand, 0-bad 12)
1♠ --- 1NT (19-21, GF)
2♣ --- 2♦ (natural bids)
3NT --- P (Decent 20-21 balanced, nothing more to say)

2NT instead of 3NT shows a 19-bad 20.
Both NT bids deny a 4 card major.
I should probably change this, because it is much harder to find a 5-3 fit after the 3NT bid.
