Ugh, I couldn't seem to get it to tell me what my bids would mean during the hand, so I bid it wrong, but it still seems to me that it runs from doubles too much. They bid too much before they finally stopped bidding. And west has 18+ points?????

Great choice of bids. Someone on vugraph bid a bit he was restricted by a silly system like this- he had 6 spades and rather than jump a level- he made a takeout double- on one table the opponents locked them out but bidding to the fourth in hearts or diamonds- I forget which but a simple preempt would have solved his fit problem.

I love the cue over the double of the contract. GIB using lamp posts (bids) for support rather than illumination.
