For example, playing Dodds signals when you hold "642" in the suit and you want a switch but lack the necessary odd card. If the answer is "play very slowly" or "play high-low" then it is not acceptable.

I am sure you don't mean that "play high-low to discourage with only even cards" is unacceptable. It is completely standard when playing parity based signals that the rank order is 3-5-7-9-8-6-4-2. In other words, you play high if you only have the wrong parity and low if you only have the right parity.


I think that I did mean what I said in the context of 'unacceptable to the EBU' with regards to Dodds signals or any method where more than one signal is in play. If you played that an odd card showed odd length and even card showed even length, then playing high-low is show odd is absolutely fine (subject to full disclosure). But here the opposite parity is about another suit. Which I think the EBU believes is wrong, but I am unsure! :)
