I consider North's 3♥ an overbid, other than that I can't make sense of this auction.

Agree. The auction is fine up to and including West's 2♠ bid. North should now pass and allow partner to compete, and I don't know why West is bidding 3♠ :blink:

Everybody is overbid except probably East.

North and West should sit across from each other. They wouldn't even need to fill out a convention card.

And their opponents could get by just filling out the section on doubles.
