When GIB doubles here (which it says shows 11+) points
opener has 0% idea what the right action is.

Leave it in ?
Bid a new suit ?
Rebid own suit ?

Today GIB doubled with:

-
876543
AJ98732
-


Double is truly inane. 5D is right. Even 6D would be a better bid.

The double should be defined as cooperative, penalty, or takeout,
none of this "guess the number I am thinking of".

Reminds me of a time in a schools competition where partner decided to make a penalty double of 4S with KQJ-9th of clubs and out opposite a silent partner.

Thanks for reporting.

Will be addressed about what North's behavior should be over such high jumps as overcall.
