Here is a hand I kibitzed, it’s beyond me why noone called the TD.
Does anyone else think the standard of behavior/play has is getting worse? Perhaps it is the company I am keeping.

I don't know what game those folks were playing, but it wasn't bridge.

I think North was trying to go down as much as possible. I don't see how EW and South have really done wrong (assuming XX was SOS). Some people very new to the game do play all doubles as penalties, though it is admitted the vast minority. But yes, remember the name and don't play with that North again.

A passed SOS redouble had happen before. I faced it in a team match, no real pleasure.
So north was just a two year old child or at least he behaved like one. Blacklist him, don't care.

I plead guilty on my own behalf.
Junior (under 20s) international match Netherlands - England :(

As I'm nearing 30 already, you can imagine it was a while ago. I still haven't forgotten.

Anyway, I just wouldn't play with someone who tries to go down as much as possible.
