The only players that got to NT slam on this hand opened 2C and rebid 2NT, showing 22-24 hcp. Two players got to diamond slam buy opening 2C, then launching into Blackwood after 2D response.
One player got to 7 by opening 2C, rebidding 2NT, then exploring spade fit.
The 6 players who opened 3NT showing 25-27 hcp got to play it there.
If you look at the hand you will see that it has 28 hcp. I reasoned that if 2C-2D-2N showed 22-24 and opening 3NT shows 25-27, that 2C-2D-3NT would show more than 27 Hcp.
I was also left in game and was the only player to bid it that way. The definition says 25-27, same as opening 3NT.

I'm done trying to get handviewer and tinyurl in sync. I took the hv bracket thing, tinyurl link from hand records, and the www.bridgebase line and tried to past them between hv brackets. Nuthin' doing. I don't mind doing the manual handviewer at all, and just pasting tinyurl above it. It's only takes a mouse click to see the play-by-play and definitions.
While I'm at it, I've tried everything to claim hands. I tried waiting after I'd won a trick and card still lying on the table, to claim. I get the popup asking me to confirm that I want to concede the rest of of the tricks, even if I have 6 cards left that are AKQ, AKQ. An exaggeration of course, but it's almost that extreme.

It's not very productive, but GIB plays that 2C-2D-4NT as showing 28-30 HCP. I do agree it is stupid there are 2 ways to show 25-27 though.

Interesting; didn't know that. Will add to card on off chance it would ever come up again.

"I do agree it is stupid there are 2 ways to show 25-27 though."

If that's stupid, how about driving to slam with 22-24 and dropping the other 2 at 3NT? With either of the first 2 options you'v done everything you can to describe your hand but are not even given a chance at reaching slam. No problem if you show a lesser hand. The only advantage of showing of showing 25-27 is that you can't be dropped at 2.

I haven't filed the bug report yet but will.

nice pass by west Gib with 8♥ lol. It obviously pays not to interfere when other Gibs bidding.

Amazing isn't it, that we didn't hear a peep out of him considering some of the hands he jumps in there with? Pretty freaky place this robot world.

Yup. Actually ran into 28-30 hcp and bid 2c-2D-4NT. I think the folks who did not do this just got lucky. Now whether GIBBO should bid 6D is another matter. Or even 5D. I would bid 5D and hope GIBBO bids 6D. Unless 5D is some weird transfer.
