Richard Hills:

In my opinion, Stefanie has got the legal situation backwards.  The 2007
Law 40B2(a) has a default that both members of a pair play the same
methods, but that Law does not necessarily preclude both members of the
pair simultaneously changing to a set of new methods during a session.

On the other hand, a Regulating Authority is empowered to specify when
and how one may change one's methods during a session or event.

So in some ABF matchpoint pairs events my partnership's conditional
approval to use "Brown Sticker" two-bids is dependent on whether our
opponents for the round are "Orange Sticker" novices.
