Help
I thought it might be interesting to see what systems people are using in this thing. So, for those who agree and/or are willing to share, I created this thread. If anyone wants to share a brief summary, please add on.
Bob and I use a Precision + 2/1 hybrid with variable NT and transfer positives.
Systems For the curious

15-17, five-card majors, unbalanced 1♦.
1♣ is clubs, balanced or any game-force; with transfer responses.
Lots of system that seemed like a good idea at the time but which we can barely remember.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Canape Churchill with strong NT. (Frequent canape by opener, no strong forcing opening, almost entirely natural.)

Strong club with a mini NT in first two seats
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

SA with custom toys. Majors-first oriented gadgets shamelessly lifted from Matula-style Polish Club.
The first batch of hands looked challenging to bid in any system.

Precision based on Greco Hampson.
I feel that the hands were more about judgement than system though.
We had one misunderstanding but all other suboptimal results are due to judgment calls.

2/1 [always GF], 12-14NT, 4-suit transfers, and all the normal gadgets (Texas, Puppet, Lebensohl 2 places, BWS for reverse, NMF, Landy, 2H bust on 2C opening, modified Ogust etc etc nothing unusual)
I was amazed to see my partner and me leading the pack, for now. We had three boards where we made a mistake in judgment, nothing to do with system.

Well, as I was unable to get access to oryginal Meckwell simplified notes nor GH notes I just went through all the hands played by Meckwell and GH in vugraph, made ton of notes and then put the system based on those. I added some stuff I found in cc's of pairs which plays those system (american juniors for example) and some stuff which I wasn't able to engineer from vugraph was filled by my/my pd's inventions.
So yeah basically it's based on both Meckwell and GH system but bidding after 1♣ is based on 1♥ = 8-11 etc.

Nice!
We chickened out and dropped our 10-12 nt that we normally play in 3rd seat any and 1st/2nd white as we felt that the preemptive effect would not be favorable to the conditions of contest.
We are playing a strong ♣ with transfer oriented symmetric relay positive responses, 12-14 nt w/ keri, and 2/1 limited openers with Gazilli.
