Chaos

-----At 4. match we play against experienced players and this time me and my partner Eymen are not playing. Again our team mates had a poor play so we could hardly win the match 16-14 vp. After the match one of my team mates told me that if the opponents played normally we could have get 0 vp from this match. Lets look at the adventures of the match.
Our 1. pair played 6, 2 aces missing with these cards below:
♠2-----------------------♠QT85
AKQ9876-----------T4
8542------------------KQ3
4-----------------------AKQ7
This costs us -11 imp, opps making 5=

On another board we see our 2. pair at work by playing 3NT with these cards below:

♠64--------------------♠J983
AQ53------N-------76
AKJT---W---E----643
873--------S--------9642

No, they are not in defence against 3NT. Believe it or not, I have the score sheet in front of me and this crime was committed in these sequence:
Dealer-: S
Vul:----:All

W-------N-------E-------S
----------------------------2*
dbl*----rdbl*----P------2♠
dbl*-----P-----2NT*--P
3NT*---All Pass

2: multi weak major
1.dbl:opening value with 4c M
rdbl: asks partner's suit
2.dbl: Partner I swear I have 13 cards
2NT: leave me alone !
3NT: You can run, but can not hide!

This funny board ended down 3. -300. However, we gained 7 imp beacause our 2. pair made miracle 3NT with N-S cards with a nice play. +600.

When I checked the results of this board of other tables I have seen that one pair played 3 dbl resulted -1700 from West!

Now let's see the appropriate bidding
W-------N-------E------S
---------------------------2♠
dbl------rdbl-----P------P
3------dbl------All Pass

If East bid 2NT as a lebensohl South should dbl because of his high values. However, East should pass after North's rdbl, meaning "partner find somewhere to hide".

Disasters from this match hasnt finished yet. Our first pair played 7 dbl thinking that they are making a save against 6♠.Result: 7 dbl -2. -500. All hands:

Vul----:None
Dealer-:W-----♠Q
--------------------7
--------------------JT985
--------------------KQJT84

♠AK8432-----------N-------------♠9765
Q642-----------W---E-----------KJ9853
32-------------------S-------------A
6-----------------------------------75
-------------------♠JT
-------------------AT
-------------------KQ764
-------------------A932
However, we didnt lose any imp because, 2. pair doubled 6 -2. +500 .
Appropritate bidding should be like this:

W------N-------E-----S
2♠------3-----4♠----dbl
P-------5-----5----dbl
All Pass
