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 .
Two classes of methods are particularly difficult to defend against, and these methods are allowed only in events governed by the Open+ Chart, and then only in segments of six boards or longer. These methods, based on #3 or #7 of the Opening Bids section of the Open+ Chart, require both a pre-alert and a written defense.
