It's my own modification of Symmetric Relay and I posted a fair bit about it back when you and straube were together. I don't mix 7411 in with 54xx, 2NT here is 54(31)/5422 with 74xx now resolving up at 3♦. The system base is similar to Polish Club, with 1♣ = "15+nat/bal or 18+ any", but is built much more around a Strong Club response structure. Relays only occur if Opener is 18+ (and Responder GF opposite 15) or if Responder to a 1 level opening is INV+ and the auction becomes game forcing. I haven't played it for a while so I've just started reviewing it with an eye to making a few small optimisations I've had in mind for a while. But the rules behind it are generally fixed and (I think) it works pretty well.

Ah yes, that did jog my memory. I was trying to locate the thread with your specific scheme and only found one where you mentioned a preference for using 1♠ as the relay over 1♥. straube mentioned looking at your relays over 1♠, but that might have been in a private thread.

So, what are your adaptations to the symmetric scheme and how do they unfold?
