There is, however, something to be said for requiring those
authorities who regulate conventions to at least have some means for the
ordinary player to seek permission to play their particular gadget.

While the EBU's scheme might not be for everyone, EBU members do at
least know that (provided they jump through all the hoops) their pet
gadgets will receive consideration, which is/was not the case with
the ACBL - or at least, that's what they told me when I asked(*), and
you would expect that they ought to know their own procedures. Still,
I'm sure the online games are happy with the ACBL's point of view. 


Brian. 

(*) No, I was *not* trying to get the ACBL to allow a multi 2D under
the GCC. :')
