Gib does not play system on after balancing 1NT? 3 is twice rebiddable suit (which happens to be Qxx...)? Gib doesnt play retransfers?

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

I think system is not on after 1NT balancing, and 2 was a cuebid showing at least an invitational hand. 3 was probably supposed to say where his values were (when they were all spread out he had trouble figuring out which was his best suit). He can't possibly have "twice rebiddable clubs" as that shows a good six card suit usually (correct me if I'm wrong) - this is the wording used if the auction goes for instance (1)(2) 2. 2 will be alerted "twice rebiddable spades, 12+ total points" or something similar.

About Gibs explanations see http://doc.bridgebas...criptions.xhtml - twice rebiddable is indeed 6 card suit. He chose to show his weakest suit, and if he doesnt have a strong suit there are 2NT and 3NT in the box....

Barmar posted the following explanation of the "rebiddable", etc. desciptions:

barmar, on 2011-November-07, 19:12 said:

The categories are:
0-2 cards
3-card
4-card = 4 with poor honors
biddable = 5 cards, or 4 with 4+ HCP or QJTx
rebiddable = biddable + another card
twice rebiddable = rebiddable + another card
strong rebiddable = twice rebiddable with 8+ HCP
solid 6-card = AKQTxx or better
solid 7-card = AKQxxxx or better
solid 8-card = AKJxxxxx or AKxxxxxxx (there are 7 x's)
So yes, "twice rebiddable" is a not-horrible 6-card suit or a horrible 7-card suit.

How does a GIB have a misunderstanding with another GIB?

How is the DD analysis supporting the play- North has to have the vast majority of the HCP and South less than 6. What North psyched his opening and South psyched his pass. I bet more garbage input- admitted its still very difficult to play but finessing South is low odds.
