On an ATB, I would blame North mainly for not making a negative double over 1♥.
I don't understand why someone would be removed from the table.

Not that I disagree that North should make a negative X, but surely South can make a 3♠ call over 2♥ or 3♥, unless you play that a failure to X absolutely denies 4 spades. Not like it costs anything.

I was South and was removed after the hand.
I didn't bid 2♠ because I thought it would be a search for 3NT or 5D and didn't feel strong enough for it.... Apparantly the hand is strong enough anyway to go to 5D with a good 2D-partner.

Think both bid horribly but north's mistake is most basic.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

You don't agree?
Why can't partner have (Oh God, here comes another sample hand)...

which isn't even a good 2D?
But first mistake has to go to the failure to X.

It's more basic from the standpoint that it's fairly generally accepted that you show your majors (though see other thread for a hand where people were fine with supporting diamonds in lieu of showing a FIVE-card major). However, from a valuation ("Why'd we miss game?!") standpoint, the 3♦ call really undersells the value of a 5-loser hand that has a void in the opponents' suit.

The problem in the bidding wasn't finding the right level but the right suit to play in. Of course the first problem was the absence of negative double, but south also had rather obvious 2♠ after 2♥. Thus it's not just one person to blame.
