I had a great time playing JEC today, I thought we were quite competitive other than a couple of oops. Here's one of them, I'm north,

We play negative free bids so a direct 2♦/2♣ shows a hand happy to play in 2♦, double is a standard negative double or a strong hand.
With a bad hand and a void in partners suit, I chose the weaker 2♦ bid.

At the other table, S supported diamonds, bid 4 nt over E/W 4♥ bid and played 5♦-3.

If you are my partner, please never tell me "I play the rule of (insert #)"

Do negative free bids allow you to double your partner?

Anyway, I think 2D is normal, regardless of how you play it (assuming natural).

1) neg free bids do not apply when pard overcalls. you cannot make a double. Perhaps you mean 2d was constructive but nf.
2) your 2d was fine
3) pard forget to show support.

Ignore NFB, mixing this hand up with another I'd just discussed.

I think 2 ♦ is OK. I agree that South should rise to 3 ♦.

so what happened after club ACE followed by a small club for N to ruff (preventing a later ruffing finesse against you club J) and p innocently trying to cash the dia AK (never suspecting you would hide support from them)? did declarer try to finesse N for the heart K or just play for the drop I am curious?

Declarer might likely get it right and play for the drop noting that there was an overcall and rebid rather than a preemptive 3♣ direct bid.

5♦ wasn't doubled at the other table? Ouch!

Here I raise 2♦ to 3♦ rather than rebidding my ♣ as south.

Since the proposed line of play requires a lead out of turn we should not accept it, by Ockham's rule we can assume it did not happen that way. Even if one doesn't see that advancer was on lead in 4 hearts; the coloring in the heading over his hand indicates that he is on play.
