I am pretty sure that this is not legal, but I cannot quote chapter and verse.

That is one issue -- I'm pretty sure that's a CoC thing and not in the laws, but that you are right for ACBL events anyway. Other issues include memory and practice/experience with the methods.

Playing strong club I quite like 11-13 NTs (which are 10+-13 the way I play them), NV in 1st seat or favorable in 2nd seat. I also play them w/w 2nd seat with my dad but I'm not convinced its that great vs good opps then. Ofc it is a huge fish killer but it is also good vs anyone and does not harm your system that much if you open 1x with 14-16 imo.

It is funny because Brad recently said something like if you hate playing against a method it must be a pretty good method to play, and Steve Weinstein was like, well that's not always true since I hate playing against weak NT but I'd never want to play it... too "random". This seems to be the view of a lot of good players, I am pretty sure meckwell gave up mini NTs because they found it to be too random also.
