1. Will Multi 2D ever be permitted in ACBL club games? "Multi" is widely played in the rest of the Bridge World.
How did this treatment become forbidden in the ACBL, and what is needed for it to become General Chart?

2. Will the ACBL ever produce an American version of EBU's Blue Book?

1. Doubtful. I don't know. A lot more people to lobby for it.
2. Even more doubtful.

Is any multi-bid opening allowed under ACBL rules? I know 2D is not. Oliver Clarke has a multi-2NT bid (which I am told is not allowed in ACBL). Could a 3C bid be 'multi' , defined however one wants even to he extent one of the possibilities is showing a void in Clubs?

This is a theoretical question, btw

In the ACBL Multi is only legal in matches of 6 boards+, Open+ chart events.

I don't know if 3C multi would be allowed, or if you'd want it.
