That's pretty stupid on the ACBL's part.

I have come to realise it is futile to expect or hope a regular club game will be run in accordance with the laws. -- Jillybean

The (non-existent) ACBL Webmaster just sent me this:

The document called ACBL Handbook is outdated and was replaced with the codification. https://web2.acbl.or...odification.pdf It and any other document you may need to should be in the document library. https://www.acbl.org/document-library/

I couldn't find it either, so I asked the webmaster about it. I'll report back when he replies. In the meantime I looked at the Codification, which (Chapter 6, Club Sanctioned Games) doesn't mention skip bid warnings. It also doesn't explicitly assign or delegate RA powers to clubs, which according to Law 80 it should do, at least IMO.
Except for the mention of skip bid warnings, the language in the Codification is essentially the same as I quoted from the Handbook above. It's in Chapter VI, E. Conventions, Section 1 - Systems and Conventions. P.160 of the Jan 1 2025 revision.
