Please be aware that there are many variations to systems and conventions
Everything is based on the assumption that you will be playing a natural Acol style system.
Beginners and Improvers should discuss any ideas they get with more exerienced players
Warning - only add one thing at a time to your system
Wait until it becomes automatic
Then only add more if you feel it will be useful and which you are confident you can remember.
