Thanks for the link David,

I've just had a look at it and page 44 Opening Bids:


"Allowed at Levels 2, 3 and 4
11 C 1 Minimum opening bid strength
The minimum agreement for opening one of a suit is Rule of 19, or 11
HCP. However a
partner****p may not agree to open with 7 HCP or fewer even if the hand
is at least
Rule of 19."

Still says Rule of 19

And in the August 2007 amendments the only change to page 44 is:

"5 P.44 11 C 3 Level 2,3,4 August 1st 2007
Delete =93at least 16 HCP or =91extended Rule of 25=92 (Rule of 25 or
equivalent playing
strength subject to an absolute minimum of 14 HCP).=94 and add
=93=91Extended Rule of
25 (see 10 B 4)=92=94
Section now reads
11 C 3 Strong Club
A 1=A7 opening may have any combination of meanings if it is forcing and
promises
a minimum of =91Extended Rule of 25=92 (see 10 B 4)."

So are the docs in that link out of date?
