stoppiello/broze 50/50 unfortunately, I don't have a cat to blame for a misclick (hand 2 about 3-4 tricks remaining if anyone is that curious) http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:bee0b4a1.ddb5.11e7.a200.0cc47a39aeb4-1512915831&u=stoppiello and another week sounds fairly reasonable 12-ish days to play 10 sets of 10

3rd set stoppiello 32 - toast1 15 http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:0713365b.ae20.11e7.84e2.0cc47a39aeb4-1507683823&u=stoppiello will get the last one done as soon as I can....sorry to keep you waiting

stoppiello 14 - toast1 32 http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:bb4e702b.ac4e.11e7.84e2.0cc47a39aeb4-1507483980&u=stoppiello hand 9 same auction, same lead, same play, bot finds the return to set me, doesn't find it against my opponent....seems a little odd

so the way I bid it doesn't seem to fit either? 1D-1S-2C-2D-2H-4H just seemed like a hand to stay low and figure out where you're going *shrug*

You can construct hands that will make game opposite one bid and not the other all day if you want, there's just going to be times where you miss something. It's not an easy hand to get across. Opening 1N gets the strength across perfectly and the shape of the hand across relatively well. Opening 1S planning to rebid 2H gets the shape of the hand across, but is much less accurate on the strength of what you have. For me, I'm opening the hand 1N. Its the most descriptive bid available to me (assuming normal 2/1). I can either say I have a balanced/semi-balanced hand with 15-17hcp. There is all sorts of machinery available to find a major suit fit if you have one (stayman, puppet or normal for one) The hand just feels no-trumpy to me, half my hcp in my 2 shortest suits, and the long suits aren't tricks off the top, but take time to develop. even as little as the 10 9 of spades instead of the xx might be enough to sway me, but with no body to the long suits, this hand just feels like it will play better in NT. And sometimes, you get a helpful major suit lead when you're declaring the hand and they don't know you have length in the majors.
