I was Bashing with Dan Neill this morning on BBO, Dan showing his excellent ability to take system notes from 0-to-60 in just a few minutes.. Opening light is a double-edged sword as Josh Sher correctly put it - on one hand we were -500 where every other table where the hand was played it was passed out. However we certainly had a lot of action, and a lot of fun, and that's what light opening systems can deliver. Btw, Dan's great system collection is at:

I was talking to local TD Tony Edwards about Bashing this afternoon, and he reminded me of the ACBL regulation that all one bids must be 8+. This means the 3rd seat 1NT cannot be 0-17, but must be 8-17.
