Scoring: IMP

The x's in South hand are really small.


The bidding goes:
1♣ - p - 1♥ - p
?

2♥: 12-14, 4♥ & shortness
3♥: 15-17, 4♥ & shortness
4♥: 18-19, 4♥ & shortness
3♠: usually 15-17 (but this is not strict), ♠ void or singleton, with exceptional hand only.

2♥ promises 4 trumps and shortness? Then I look no further. South is surely worth a slam try opposite that. I would also bid 2♥ playing SAYC.

For what it's worth, I think the best strategy with the North hand is to pass as dealer.

Just to finish up the auction, as I would suggest (if the system will allow it):

2H (12-14, with shortness)
2S (cheapest call = relay asking for shortness)
2NT (short spade)
3C (club A/K/Q, starts slam move)
3D (Diamond first-round control)
3H (good trumps -- two top honors)
4D (first-round and second-round diamond control, no two top clubs)
4S (spade Ace, must have Ace or King of clubs inferentially)
6H (OK, I'll bite)

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Could you please elaborate on that?
