Three words to describe the most memorable moment of the week (for me, that occurred to me):

Doubled Defensive Beer

Heh heh. Those words again: doubled defensive beer. Playing with someone who pays them. *grin*

The bidding went as follows:
Pass Pass 1C* /**
1D*** Pass 1NT^ Double
All Pass

* Precision, showed a hand that is 150% of average (where average is 10 Goren-style High Card Points - if you have one each of Ace, King, Queen, and Jack, that's 10 HCP)
** We had no systemic bid here to show what I had, but since I know that I'll get another chance to do something, I'm happy to pass and butt in later
*** This response to the 1C shows a hand that is 70% of average or worse
^ This showed a hand with cards fairly evenly distributed between the four suits, no five-card major, and specifically 15-16 HCP

I held:
AK, KJ9x, KQT7, QJx

And declarer was screwed. Dummy held not a single honour card, we racked up +800 when 3NT (+600) can go off.

Finals of the Women's Trials starts tomorrow. At 9:30 am. I am Not Amused.
