2. You and your partner appears to be playing different systems
3. If you provided the (ACBL) TDs with a complete description of your methods, they bounce the opening
1. We can describe the methods. You don't like that they don't have quantity and quality specifications that you are used to, but that does not mean the description is inadequate.
2. We play the same system. 3NT by my partner means the same thing as mine.
3. We provide descriptions when asked, and since the opening is not a convention, hopefully TDs would not bounce a non-conventional opening.
As to bidding on whim, this is quite true, and nothing prevents this. Also my bidding at midnight is somewhat different than my bidding at 11 am, which is different than my 6:30 pm bidding, and my bidding when there is a football game on, and my bidding when I'm typing here while playing, and my bidding when I'm BBQ'ing. However claiming that the GCC does not permit this is just silly.
