  • ACBL Convention Charts Introduction
    ACBL Convention Charts 20 November 2018 Introduction The four new convention charts are listed in order from least to most permissive: the Basic Chart, Basic+ Chart, Open Chart, and Open+ Chart. The Basic and Basic+ Charts are intended for limited master point events. These Charts are written in manner similar to the old charts -- by listing permitted methods. The Open and Open+ Charts are intended for events with no masterpoint limits (or high limits). In contrast to the Basic and Basic+ Charts, methods are generally allowed unless they are expressly prohibited within the Chart. A comprehensive Definitions section is included In addition to the Charts. Any word that is capitalized on a Chart is included in the Definitions section. An Examples section follows the Charts for cases where a rule might be ambiguous. Both the Definitions and the Examples should be included with the Charts. Any Definition or Chart Rule marked with three asterisks (***) has 1 or more examples in the Example section. Chart Usage Tournaments Pair Events and non-Bracketed Team Events Basic Chart: Applies in any event where the upper limit per player is 750 or less. Basic+ Chart: Applies in any event where the upper limit per player is 3000.
