You are quite sure that there were no points chucked on any of the other hands?

The opps. bid to 3NT, making. The match was lost by 3 IMPS less than what was given up on this deal.

2NT, as long as partner knows it is 12-14, and systems are on, incl. weak Stayman versions.

Playing Imps would you bid or pass?. Is it close? At the table the choice made cost the match.

Its worth 14.5- 2NT is well-placed after the "strong hand" so 2NT is fine as 14.5 to 16.5 vulnerable. If the ace wasn't in the long suit- pass- downgrades the hand to 14.2. At 17 to 17.5 consider your options might bid 3 of a minor with 4 card- you have to wanting game to bid a minor then. Sure there is a misfit between E-W but it will take them time to work out which suit to attack while you get to your contract.
