A question about Full Disclosure.
I think the part on uncontested bidding is great.
My question is, now, rather oriented to contested bidding.
I apologize if the issue has already been raised in the past (I did not browse through all the posts).
E.g. Let's assume I am filling the scheme of our overcalls on opps 1 club opening and I go to play a BBO tourney with the FD CC uploaded.
This scheme was written assuming a "better minor scheme" in a SAYC or 2/1 context.
But then I meet one pair who is playing Precision and opens 1 club: the software will visualize the meaning and explanation of our bids over 1 club ASSUMING 1C is a SAYC opener, not a Precision opener.
Instead, over a big club we do have different agreements.
So opps will visualize the incorrect information.
The same thing happens when we open and opps overcall artificially: our followups are different than if the overcall has another meaning.
Is there a way to solve this ?

Use the "qualify" area for this. For example, you can create 2 1C openings for your opponents, one with "natural" as the qualifier and the other for "strong" as a qualifier. Each of the opps' 1C openings can have a different set of continuations by your side.
