According to the SAYC available on BBO, systems are on after our direct 1NT overcall. According to the ACBL's version, Stayman is on but everything else is off. http://web2.acbl.org...y/sayc_card.pdf . What's the deal?

In "official" SAYC, after a 1NT overcall 2♣ is stayman and other systems are off.

Of course, most people seem to play "systems on" these days. It is perhaps somewhat problematic that: (1) SAYC does not reflect what most people play (2) Most people do not actually know what is in the SAYC document, even if they claim to play the system.
