Notice that the fact that a pair plays a Precision-type club doesn't mean 
they're playing weak or semi-weak notrumps. See for example Sontag's book, 
where Precision is matched with a 15-17 NT opening.
Therefore, if the regulations said weak NT should be pre-alerted, the fact 
that the pair already explained (or pre-alerted) their 1C opening wouldn't 
be enough. That's a ruling I had to do before.
