-- preferably by putting them under my arse, ACBL-style.
We in the ACBL seem to have a lot more available space in that location than other players of the world.
MI, but was there damage? EBU

So is it legal to sistematically ask for all of the opponents alerts?, that might improve my performance with my partner who never ever asks any questions to opponents.

It's legal to always ask, as long as you're doing it for your own benefit. It's not legal to ask a question solely in order to help partner.
... 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

Yeah I know the rules, but if I do it sistematically to avoid UI and also to help partner what is it?

As long as it's not solely for partner's benefit, I think you're OK.
Although I suppose a SB could argue that "to avoid UI" is also just for partner's benefit. The laws say that transmitting UI is not necessarily an infraction, but using it is. So by avoiding transmitting UI, you're saving partner from having the problem of having to ignore it. How is this different from asking a question because you think partner doesn't know well enough to ask himself?
