Hi all

I managed to score 100% in a small MP tourney - 2/1 15-17 NT etc - South is best hand too
Can't necessarily say all through judgement but happy with my choice of bid - all just luck of course - random disbutions include occasional tops

What do you reckon? Do you see trouble ahead

Congratulations, 100%. you should be given a national title too.

1D, no more than the usual trouble.

What I was curious about was whether there are any special considerations for it given that it caused the field so much trouble
The 100% was pure luck at avoding the ensuing chaos

You will get a heart overcall followed by negative double and 2 hearts

Maybe no clues at all but every opening bid led to a range of negative scores from simple 1 down to 5 or 6 down or doubling oops into game

Only non negative scores were 1NT or pass possibly:)

I was more concerned that the opps would overcall 1♠ and partner would make a negative double.

I'm assuming X = 4S

What methods am I playing ? would partner bid 1♠ with 4 or would he double ?

I would have opened 1♣ and my responsive X would show this sort of shape

What is South's double? Assuming the negative double shows exactly four spades, we kind of want to make a support double but I don't think South's double would be considered a support double.
