IMP's. Don't remember the vulnerability.
2♦*-p-2♥*-x
2♠-3♣-3♦*-5♣
2♦ was multi, 2♥ was p/c, 3♦ was natural.

What do you think of the auction? We had absolutely no agreements about defending vs. multi. Apparently partner thought x showed short or long hearts.

As South I would at least try for 6♣. Maybe bidding 3♠ en route or something.
Dbl showing short or long hearts is popular in NL I think. Then you can dbl as North asking S to pass with short hearts and take out with long hearts. I suppose I would bid 3♣ also, less prone to misunderstandings and may be better anyway.

The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

We need a midnight line.
This again show that you need clear special case agreements or some simple general agreements. In my option double of 2♥ falls in to first category but there was no explicit agreement about it. I think everyone has general agreement to play t/o doubles at this level so using this general rule double of 2♥ should be t/o for ♥. In fact this simple agreement works so well that I happen to play it against multi.
What we learned? nothing .... or maybe KISS if no good special agreement.
