MP, best hand South, Instant, pro GIB 30

Scored 0% on this one. Anyone playing in Spades makes 10, so even in part-score 170 beats 150

But possibly an unfair measure of the severity of the problem, as all the other tables are playing one version of GIB, and my table a unique version.

I am not convinced that GIB is to blame here, and if it is to blame it is certainly not the sort of gross transgression to which we are accustomed.

Really just open to suggestions. Law of total tricks did not suggest to me that contesting 3 over 3 was right.

I wonder what a direct double of 3 would have shown. North should certainly compete at least to 3 opposite partner's opening hand.

Pass zero out of 10. Pass is utter nonsense opposite a partner who opened the bidding, double is clear-cut.
