Maybe the most egregious director call I have ever had

999er game

East and West have played a long time, but they are the bad intermediate ACBL older range who is never getting better

Auction goes

3S-X-4S-X-P

West "So you are going to make me bid"
East "No I'm not"

So I was also playing in the mentor/mentee game in the other room so I without looking at the hand said, "West pretend you didn't hear anything, and continue the auction like you didn't hear anything, N/S if you feel you were damaged call me back." But naturally west passes.

North/South doesn't call me back after the hand.

N/S and E/W were bottom two of the event so it didn't really matter...

So I look more closely at the hand after the game.

Man. If I had been called back...I think I give EW 5DX-3 and a procedural penalty. I almost wanted to give them one just for show.

West doubled 3S with his 11 red?

ROFL

Yes

Which makes everything happened afterward so much worse.

If you forced me to X 3S with the west hand, I would feel I would have to pull East's double of 4S
