I hope this time it's not my fault! He has 8 points but he counts it as 13-15 HCP. I did not move since it was a bingo tournament (from now on I won't move anyway).


... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Director! North-South must have some sort of concealed partnership agreement.

Part of problem is method. 2N is a transfer to ♣, 3♣ is a transfer to ♦. Opener has no way to say they like responder's suit like when 2♠ and 2N are the transfers.
Never the less Gib has a clear 3N response and has no reason to get opener's hopes up by transferring.
The only people I know who use something similar to Gib's methods have another bid just to invite 3N with a good minor.
Sarcasm is a state of mind
