  Acol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acol is a natural system: most opening bids, responses and rebids are made with at least 4 cards in the suit bid, whilst most no trump bids are made with balanced hands.
Acol makes extensive use of limit bids: limit bids describe the hand so closely, in terms of high card points (HCP) and shape, that the one who makes the limit bid is expected to pass on the next round, unless partner makes a forcing bid.
Benjaminised (Benji) Acol: recognising that strong 2 opening bids are rarely used, the 2H and 2S openings are used to show weak hands containg long suits (under 10 HCP and a 6 card suit).

ACOL was not found to affect enzymes of cholesterol synthesis, further supporting the involvement of the clearance-related receptors in its hypocholesterolemic action.
The consequences of the HDL-cholesterol-lowering action of ACOL in rats fed a cholesterol-free diet must be considered in the context of the fundamental differences that exist between human and rodent lipoprotein metabolism.
In summary, the present findings demonstrate that ACOL exerts a potent hypocholesterolemic action, independently from concomitant reductions in food intake, and that such action is maintained in rats with diet-induced hypercholesterolemia, possibly because the SERM upregulates key hepatic lipoprotein receptors and defeats their downregulation by dietary cholesterol.

 acol vs sayc   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
In BOTH SAYC and ACOL all 3/4/5 level bids are PREEMPTIVE and the higher you bid the more preemptive it becomes so either you will have longer suit or better quality but suffice it to say with these preemptive bids you should have no outside defensive strength.
Since ACOL only promises 4 card support then generally you need 4 card support to raise the opener but the 6-9 and the 10-12 structure still hold good in raising to the 2 and 3 levels respectively.
This can be incorporated into ACOL and some players are doing so but the majority of ACOL players use a convention called Baron where a bid of 2NT shows a strong balanced hand containing 16+ points.
