[blml] Nondisclosure

[Robert Geller]

This isn't a laws question, but rather the answer is governed by the
regulations set up by the tourney organizer.  Here in Japan we divide
conventions into list A,B,C which are allowed in all ordinary tourneys,
list D (stuff like Multi 2D, other two suit openings at the two level, etc),
list E (the 1S overcall below falls into that category) and list F (ferts, hum).

Use of List E is only allowed in a few events (the national trial is one such)
but only if this treatment was disclosed in advance on the pre-submitted 
WBF convention cards.  So in the JCBL it would be clear that the use
of this convention would be disallowed.  I suppose the non-offending
side should get AVE+ (3 imps). 

But how this would/should be dealt with in Oz depends on the 
system/convention/disclosure regulations set up by the organizers.
Hopefully they did have SOME regulations in place.
