To the person with the double slam swing (very low
team-play score):
   If it's any consolation, I can approximate your experience from
couples duplicate play. My partner once decided to use a convention
I didn't know, with predictable results. We were sitting N-S. While
the other N-S diamonds were overbid (E-W makes 3H), we went 6NT,
down 6, redoubled (my partner, again), and vulnerable. Fortunately,
this was back when the little clubs were all using match points, so
we merely got stuck with low board. Our opponents for the table also
bid and made two large slams, leaving us with 1 match point. Never
trust a sweet pair of little old ladies with long spades.
