I played in the Sideshow with Mike Develin last night. It was certainly an experience. Neither of us was at the top of our game, but we had a great time.
All hands matchpoints.
Favorable

Partner opened a strong notrump in first chair. I decided to bid 3C, transfer to diamonds, and bid 4S, hoping he would field that as exclusion. My dummy in 3C was:
