IMO, the safest thing to do with so many different rules in different countries is to alert any bid that is not offering a final place to play. For instance some people play that 1♥ - 1♠ - 2♣ is passable. Others play that all changes of suit are forcing. The second group (myself included), should alert 2♣ as forcing. It is a pain but that is full disclosure, my alert on this sequence is forcing, may be a 3 card ♣ suit.

Someone was told off because they alerted 2♣, i was told off when I didn't alert it and I can understand why.... if it's non promisory stayman, then it must be alerted!
When i first played in UK, i alerted 1nt as weak, and was told off!!! Well, not exactly told off, but laughed at :D Seems very natural to open weak NT in UK... i guess one needs to alert normal NT openings there :(
Quite confusing...
Having said that ( Simon Cowell quote.. hehe ) best to alert pretty much everything on BBO...

Aisha :rolleyes: ALERT!
