My partner and I wish to play a Modified Precision Club system in BBO tournaments. Since many of our bids require alerts and we do not have a Full Disclosure CC to explain our bids, I anticipate that we will be asked for an explanation of our bids frequently. Providing the explanation consumes time. Tournaments have a time limit per hand. Has anyone experienced a problem with this?

I am a Precision player and my suggestion is to be proactive and fill in the bid description box for all alertable bids. This takes only a few more seconds and saves some time for most Q and A.
Ultra Relay: see Daniel's web page: https://bridgewithda...19/07/Ultra.pdf
C3: Copious Canape Club is still my favorite system. (Ultra upgraded, PM for notes)

Santa Fe Precision published 8/19. TOP3 published 11/20. Magic experiment (Science Modernized) with Lenzo. 2020: Jan Eric Larsson's Cottontail . 2020. BFUN (Bridge For the UNbalanced) 2021: Weiss Simplified (Canape & Relay). 2022: Canary Modernized, 2023-4: KOK Canape.

I play a somewhat artifical natural system on bbo, where you need to alert lots of things as well, same as PrecisionL, I just self alert most things, as I bid them, having a FD card for it would be nice, but this is fine as well.
The most annoying this, is that you make an alert, then opp still clicks on the bid, and I have no clue what does he want...
Also note, if we are playing the swiss format, then we usually wait 3-4 minutes anyway, at the end, and Opps are prone to call TD if you start thinking about your play for more than 10 seconds.
