England has one national KO competition with Aggregate scoring. While all those matches were on Vugraph yesterday afternoon, we were playing a round of it. Here's a few interesting hands from it. It's been a long weekend, so I'm feeling generous: no play problems.
Phew! Had a long weekend with go, and your play problems are consistently tough (and unfortunately interesting too.)

They play 4 card majors, weak NT, very little system. Your lead.

♦ is 4th suit game forcing

♥ is constructive, about 9-12 with a 6-card suit

♥, why not? You said you open sound, but with the possible misfit and the bad suit I can't see this as a game force.

You play strong NT, 5CM, 1
♦ promises 4+, open 1
♦ with 4-4 minors
2
♣ is forcing to 2NT or 3m
If double is takeout, that might be the best solution, but I assume (and prefer) that it is hearts. I would just raise to 2
♦, I am not optimistic about game.
