Scoring: IMP
west passes at first position, and north will open, in 1 table he opened 1♦ in the other he opened 1♣ (2+, diamond 5+ or 4441), neither table reached slam, would you?

p - (1D) - Dbl
2D - 3D (2H would be NF)
3S - 4C
4D - 4H
4S - keycards
That one seems easy. Even if West misguidedly bids 2S after the double, east can just bid 3C and you get to slam.
After a 1C opening it seems tough to reach 6C.

and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I wouldn't pass as West.
1♣-1NT (clubs or bal / clubs inv+)
2♦-2♥ (4+ clubs, minimum / nat)
2NT-4♣ (balanced / natural forcing)
4♠-4NT (cue / RKCB)
5♥-6♣
1♣-1NT (clubs or bal / clubs inv+)
2♦-2♥ (4+ clubs, minimum / nat)
2NT-4♣ (balanced / natural forcing)
4♠-4NT (cue / RKCB)
5♥-6♣
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

1C - ( 1D ) - 1H
1NT - 2D! ( NMF )
2NT - 3C ( GF, shifts emphasis from Hts to Cl )
3S* - 4C! ( Minorwood in GF auction )
4S ( 2-cQ) - 5D ( = kickback for specific K's; 4NT and 5C are to play )
6C ( no K's ) - all pass
________________________________________________________
*3S cue; denies Diam and Ht Ctrl
In the dark it looks like slam is less than 50% except for the fact that North (overcaller) probably holds all the missing K's

This is more or less the auction at the table, but East decided to bid 3NT over 3♠ insted of showing a not so good club on a hand that might be a missfit. It wasn't a good decision this time.
