bidding

      North          South
2S*   2H(3H)**   4D   4H
all pass

* 5+/4+ minors and (2-10 or <=4 losers)

** Insufficient bid.  Apparnetly thought the bid was 1S.  Td called.  Bid
not accepted.  3H was bid after enquiring what the 2S meant.  Result 4H
making on a claim after D lead (H's are 3/0 and declarer didnt dump 4 spades
on the minors).

The opps call the td and say that 3H over a weak 2 bid generally shows a
decent hand.  South KNEW from the ui that this particular 3H's was alot
weaker as North intended to bid 2H over 1S and not over 2S.  They felt over
a "normal" 3H bid South had far too much not to pursue a slam and would
infact bid it after North showed 1 key card + the increased likelihood of
N's values being in the majors given the weak 2 minor opener.  They felt the
score should be adjusted to 6H-1 as South had acted on the UI.

Extraneous info.
N/S play weak 2D/2H/2S ... (it was suggested that N may have missed the
opening bid all together)
Several pairs did bid the slam after a pass, 1H opening by North.
N/S played RKC


The committee allowed the result to stand.  Comments ?
