With effect from 1st September 2022, the EBU has revised its rules on alerts and announcements. Most of the new announcements that have to be made affect those who play transfers after a 1C opening, or play 2 over 1 (the system that robots play on BridgeBaseOnline). One interesting change is that you no longer announce the point range after opening a strong, balanced 2NT. So, for most of us, there’s not much of concern.
Remember, when it’s your turn to bid, if you need to know you can always ask your opponent what their partner’s bid means. There is still no requirement to alert/announce the meaning of a jump overcall. Although the modern way is to play it as weak, we still have members who play it strong. This can catch you out, so we suggest you always check.
A summary of the new rules is on the club noticeboard.
