Hi,
I'm a fairly serious duplicate player, and am looking for a partner 
(preferably
a student, or a 'recent' student to play with in Austin.
I've just arrived from England, but I'm fairly familiar with SA, 2/1 though I
 was brought up on Acol (Ugh). I am interested in experimenting with 
'non-standard' 
systems, and complex conventions, though I have yet to investigate how much
I will be able to use under ACBL regulations. (EBU regulations seemed to be
fairly easy to circumvent by carefully defining conventions to fall though the
loopholes in the rules!).

Hope to hear from someone,
Cheers,
Robin

PS. As evidence of being 'fairly serious':
1) I've never had any interest in collecting masterpoints
2) I've was on the Cambridge University team for several years.
3) I've failed to get on to the England U25 squad twice. :-(
Of course, friends who have played with me, will claim that under no 
circumstances is my bridge at all serious. :-)
