Gib W doubles 3 for the lead and subsequently doubles 7, holding a void in spades. Was this meant as Lightner or just general penalty?

Anyway, I shouldn't complain, this was robot reward so Gib E's diamond lead earned me a dollar.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

According to the description, the double of grand shows 2+ hearts, which is clearly not what is really going on.
If it was Lightner then his partner isn't thinking clearly: although that is already evident from the diamonds lead after your cue, doubled or not.

I would be p***** if a grand slam went down on a less than 1% chance to the bots. You earned your dollar :)

Descriptions are entirely meaningless at that level.

Double says "double dummy simulations say we're going to beat this enough times".

But East is incapable of interpreting this.
I have nothing worth contributing, bye
