| WHAT IS LEVEL 2? |
In order to make this event more "friendly", playing conventions are restricted to Level 2. Most likely this will not affect less experienced players. But more experienced players will not be allowed to play some of the more "aggressive" conventions. A "Multi 2-Diamond" opening is an example of such a convention - but there are other restrictions.
