If yes, I wonder what would happen when you play a pair that

very aggressive weak twos you tell them that you play card

showing doubles

believe you are

allowed to vary your methods based on your opponents' defensive

style.

So, you can't change system because of an anticipated countermeasure (ACBL Election for L40E2, in the back of the Laws), and yet you can't be restricted from taking an action that is based on style/judgment....

Interesting. I'd never heard of this being an issue (although this post is closer to my vintage, date-wise :) ).

But I assume you can write "Weiss Doubles vs Bailey" on your convention card, no?

For that matter, can you write "Bailey 2-bids except vs Weiss doubles"?
That could lead to infinite regress!
