After reviewing the performance of Indian teams at international events, BFI has decided to adopt a more progressive policy aimed at improving performance levels by fostering innovation and exposing players to more competitive environments. Accordingly, BFI will permit the use of any advanced gadgets, systems, special methods, and other innovative approaches in Team of Four Gold Events conducted as part of all category 1 events held in India.
All partnerships participating in these events will be required to submit their convention cards to BFI atleast 1 month advance of the event. Partnerships using non-Standard systems must also provide a clear explanation of all opening bids in their system, enabling opponents to prepare effective defenses and understand any implicit positive or negative inferences. This material will be available for reference by all players in the event as well as tournament directors.
You can submit your system to Mr. Srinivasan (cardpacker@gmail.com)
Partnerships are expected to adhere, for the most part, to the system uploaded on the BFI website or event website. Frequent or habitual deviations from the submitted methods may attract score adjustments by directors or reviewers, if deemed appropriate.
Players and pairs are responsible for updating their submitted system information whenever changes are made.
For any clarification, please speak to Mr. Sudhir Aggarwal – +91 98101 00361 and Mr. KS Samant – +91 98209 51180
This addendum shall supersede any conflicting provisions in the existing BFI System Policy 2021.
