[blml] Profit from irregularites

[Nigel]

On RGB, there is a debate about article by John Shuster, in the ACBL 
district 9 Journal, describing a convention that assigns different 
meanings to your bids, depending on whether or not you accept an 
opponent's insufficient bid.  Currently players like David Stevenson who 
believe that such agreements are legal have a considerable advantage.

I seem to remember Grattan Endicott insisting that, without specific 
permission, you must not employ agreements that are geared to taking 
advantage of irregularities by opponents. What is the WBF position? and 
the position under local jurisdictions?

IMO, anyway, the laws should be simplified to make such agreements more 
difficult -- for instance: the option of accepting an insufficient bid, 
should be removed from the law-book.
