Hand rotated

I was called for an Appeal's comitee on the fllowing hand.
According to East and Director south doubled with an offshape 9 count opposite an unpassed partner and then bid to the 4 level himself.
East was convinced he must have heard about the hand from another table as his actions are just nuts.


I wanted to ask some questions to south (actually East, I rotated the hand, he was EW moving on a mitchell movement), but this was after final session of the tournament and they had both left already and couldn't be found. Wouldn't surprise me if director neglected to inform them about the incoming AC.

Some pairs let 5♥ make, while most scored 10 tricks, don't have the exact numbers as I didn't feel I had enough evidence to adjust to anything, and so let result stand.

Was the TD called? Was there a ruling?

south is rather sporting. there are plenty of sporting bidders. if he were dodgy, he'd smack 5h in front of partner and lead a spade.

I don't see how you can possibly rule that he overheard something about the hand unless you get him to admit it, or at least find someone else to confirm that there was discussion loud enough to hear (like the people at the table he presumably heard it from). Armed with only the information you've given, all we can say is that South is a wild bidder.

OK, the AC can keep the deposit, then.
