Since BBO seems to lack either the ability or the inclination to fix the oft-reported problem with this sequence (North has no way to bid hands of 6 points with 3 s or 6-9 points with 2s) I am here reporting this hand only to highlight North's puzzling decision to bid 2 over South's 2. Given that North does not have the hand specified for a 2 bid and has found a great landing place in 2, why the false preference? And why does North's hand suddenly get better for play in s when South shows values in the minors by bidding 2NT?

For the record, of the 33 participants, 5 opened this hand opened with 1NT - only they were permitted to play 2. In addition, 2 of the 14 participants who did not make a game try over North's 2 made that contract. Two additional participants passed North's forcing NT and were allowed to make their contracts (down 5 is the result on other-than-ridiculous defense).
