[blml] why no convention card?

[Robert Geller]

I don't know the rules in your country, but here in Japan each pair is
required to have two identically, completely filled out, convention cards
if they want to play anything more than a standard meat-and-potatoes 
system.   If they were playing 1430 and didn't have two identical 
filled-out convention cards they would already be in violation of this
rule and subject to penalty....

So I hope you will forgive me for suggesting that the premise of this
discussion is unrealistic.   Of course it might be the case in your country
that the regulations don't require convention cards to be filled out.
If this is the case may I suggest that this rule be adopted and enforced.

Cheers,
Bob
