The table result of 4+1 scored 1 MP, half the pairs were in the good single dummy 6NT spot (all but 1 making 7), 1 in 7NT, 1 in 6, 1 in 4nt, and 1 in 6-1.

Hello, North must have been watching cows fly by!!

 

North has a 3 QT, 15 point hand with 3+ cards in each outside suit but can't find at least a TO double. That's an incredibly egregious bidding error. Once it happens, it's very difficult to ever recover.

 

My guess is that most of the 6 NTs followed after most North's found the winning 3 NT call.

 

North might try to recover by making a 4 cue over South's double. J653 isn't exactly an overwhelming holding with which to jump to a game on. But whatever call South makes next, it likely neither partner can visualize there's enough for slam.

 

After an immediate 3 NT by North, if South Gerbers with 4 and finds 3 As, 6 NT is an easy call.

 

After an immediate TO double by North, South should bid 4 showing a big hand.
