In the upper left corner with a spread you can read all the backs INSTANTLY. So NO calculations at all. It seems bold biut unless you know where it is difficult to spot. When you know it just jumps out at you.

With both the TL and BW systems, I really wonder why they call it a 'system' at all. Writing AD= Ace of Diamonds or a number is hardly an 'innovation'.
Actually the TL sounds like the 'ultimate' system, except you see a Diamond shape instead of D.
Are there any printed systems that use the back design and not real word/symbols? I've seen 'samples' of marked decks that alter bike back markings. Cannot be read without training. It was some 'history of' type page I can't find again. Not an actual product.
