It is indeed a tempest, mostly in a teapot, though.

Even in a teapot, some tempests are (at least relatively) important.
My non-playing Captain chided me we should have played 3NT.
Do you agree?

As your non, non playing Captain I would have congratulated your bidding the 6C contract and encourage you to keep the pressure up on the opponents, Don't Stop

That is what I would have expected too
Maybe he had difficulty in envisioning the auction from our point of view, or was simply peeking the PAR.

Total unfortunate side note regarding playing teams.

I loved playing teams when I was younger, much much younger.
Since coming back to bridge I still love playing teams.
Unfortunately we don't discuss the hands.
I often don't even know what the other contracts were at the other table.

I really miss that ..

I got roped into some long all day team game thingy tomorrow. Have no idea who our teammates are or what the event is.

At least it is online, so perhaps I can view the contracts Wednesday. 😎
