Ulven asks via a comment on an older post:
Is it allowed, Midchart, to play 1S as 11-13 balanced? There's a structure I've liked for years:
1C 16+
1D 11-15 unbal w/o 5H
1H 11-15 5+H
1S 11-13 bal
1N 14-16 bal
2C 11-15 minors
This means both weak and strong NT with a lot less risk!
Ulven notes that opening the weak NT (here 11-13) as a suit makes it a lot harder for the opponents to double for big numbers.

This is not mid-chart legal. The change to the mid-chart is: "Any strong (15+ HCP) opening bid" - thus the 1S opening has to be 15+ if artificial. This structure would be allowed:
1C 16+
1D 11-15 unbal w/o 5H
1H 11-15 5+H
1S 15-16 bal
1N 12-14 bal
2C 11-15 minors
Sadly the weak NT has to be opened 1NT.
The 15+ openings require a pre-alert, but no suggested defense - I suggest having one anyway.
