Btw, I would think that making an SOS-XX with the West hand would be truly horrible bride. Does that matter at all, or should we believe West's claim "I would have redoubled", say even if he is a good player?

I understand that North and South told convincing stories to the TD. They managed to convince the TD that, despite South forgetting and doubling for takeout, their agreement was takeout in any undiscussed position [as it would be with me] but South got excited! :blink:

Furthermore, North convinced the TD he knew it was for takeout but judged a pass was right - and, yes, he did understand the alerting rules! :rolleyes:

So, no MI. :wacko:

Result stands, no damage. A trump lead against 3♠X would be beyond automatic, should we somewhat questionably 'allow' EW to run from 3♣X. But I can see that TD established that there was no MI and therefore no case.

David, what are NS supposed to do under EBU rules regarding alerts if they have no agreements about a double?

Agreed.

Frankly I think this discussion has gone far to far.

Please forget for a moment the question whether or not there was MI from North or South and just imagine that West had been allowed any call he would like over the double from South.

What call by West can reduce the disasterous result they are in for in 2♣ doubled?

East/West are not damaged by any kind of possible MI, their damage is a direct consequence of the 2♣ bid by East.
