Before I harass partner about waking up at 5am, is there a regulation or prohibition against WBF brown sticker methods in these matches?

2\1 GF with 5 card majors an unbalanced diamond, and a short club. That's not the problem obviously - Our brown sticker methods are

Overcalls:

1NT overcall is three suited takeout
Over a 1 minor opening by them we play 2D is a WJS in either major and 2S is a good preempt in any suit.


Openings:

2C opening is diamonds weak, spades weak, or a strong hand
2S opening is a preempt in any suit (so 3C is both minors, 3D is 6D plus 4 m and 3M is a bad preempt)

I don't anticipate that is particularly revolting or unusual.

Ah sure, they can handle it LOL. If you can play, I'll make sure to announce them in advance there will be alerts and to pay attention to your explanations. As long as all the unusual stuff is explained, I don't think it';s a problem.

Just to confirm, to 100% sure I understand, the game is 2pm New York time which is UTC -5 being converted to Australian time which is UTC +11. Therefore:

Location	                Local time	                                Time zone	UTC offset
New York (U.S.A. - New York)	Saturday, 22 November 2014 at 2:00:00 PM	EST	        UTC-5 hours
Sydney (Australia - NSW)	Sunday, 23 November 2014 at 6:00:00 AM	        AEDT	        UTC+11 hours
Corresponding UTC (GMT)	        Saturday, 22 November 2014 at 19:00:00

Yes it's 6AM NSW, Australia. You can double check with what is 8PM Paris time, or 9PM Bucharest, Romania :)

Let me make an inquiry myself.
"Champions aren't made in gyms, champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. " - M. Ali

My partner Aggro is in town (he works in Kazakstan). We were going to play club bridge but this would be more fun.

Nix. He wants club bridge. Sigh.

We lost by 21 imps. The boards that really cost where 20 and 27, which is unfortunate, and then a slow bleed.

Well we had 2 noticable accidents, they missed a slam, and others were mirrored basically. Most of the losses were to loosing tricks, or going down too many and that picked up around 20 imps if im not mistaken
