This was one of the more entertaining hands to watch as the last hand
in a team match.

At one table, the call was 3D.  Found partner with VOID Jxxx JT9xx
KQxx

For some reason that partner got all excited and forced the bidding to
5D. X.  XX.  D1 lose 400.  3D bidder went on and on how the 3D bid was
absolutely standard.

At the other table, the call was X.  That partner also came alive and
bid 4H.  No double.  Just a calm down four for a push.

Most entertaining to watch.
