Fun in Bracket XVI

I've been spoiled playing in higher brackets with McKenzie, but this week, it's bracket sixteen for me and my squad of players who actually all have more points than I do. It's sort of awful down here, but it's really fun, too. My biggest laugh of the week so far was this auction and the post mortem that followed:

I opened the bidding:

1C (1D) 1S (P)
1N (2D) all pass

Dummy hit with the world's fair -- an 11-count with clubs double stopped and diamond support. When declarer made 4, dummy said, "Whew, I was starting to worry I hadn't bid enough!"

Declarer said, "Oh no it was perfect -- I only had a weak 2."

There's more where that came from, but for now it's back to the bridge table.
