Which is why nobody does, of course.

Nobody but the EBU that is . . .

The EBU doesn't, of course.

So you keep saying. So please explain the difference in regulations between
a precision 1C opener, and an Acol 2C - because I don't see any.

The minimum for any agreement to be described as "strong" is ER25.

That does not make an Acol 2C - or any other agreement - show a minimum of ER25. Only an idiot would play it that way.

Maybe Dave Flower really does open an Acol 2C on

K642
AK3
Q32
KJ8

If so, it is legal - so long as he does ***not*** describe it as an Acol 2C.
