Look at the South hand. An undisclosed NINE card suit and no spades. He must have been like a dazzled rabbit in the lights. How could he pass?!! For this bid ARF awarded South the dubious honour 'Perpetrator of the Worst Bid Ever'.

Note: 4spade doubled cost -800. With 7NT and 7heart absolutely cast iron, North-South scored nil points in the Bidding Contest.

Over the next few days we'll see a few more choice entries for the WBE trophy.
