 I am fairly certain that this was the same
review that effectively killed off the Roman Club system in England and
Wales
 
AG : IMOBO the main problem with systems isn't complexity but fuzziness
(non-deterministic rules).
Apparently Roman Club allows four openings (1 of any suit) on a hand like 
Kxx - Qxx - AKJ10x - Jx, treating the hand as canapé-like or as 1-suited or
as balanced.
 
I guess this fuzziness is the main reason for disallowing Roman club and
similar systems. 
Playing Polish Club with Canapé (which is in essence very similar, and at
least as effective, but guarantees 4-card 1D/H/S openings and gives a
deterministic rule about openings) would be tolerated more often, I guess.
 
I'm on the liberal side, and then some, but I'm always a bit trifled when
they cant tell me when they'll open 1H and when they'll open 1D on, say,
1336.
 
Note that this has nothing to do with players not wanting to disclose their
conventions ; in that case the players, not the system, should be thrown out

 
Best regards
