All of which is true. But not, in fact relevant. And, of course, missing some information - which coincidentally is convenient for North: North *received* UI from South's reaction (at least the way you tell it in the OP. Go ahead and try to convince the TD of that), and took a call that has an LA not suggested by that UI.
Well, if it's that kind of game, you can choose to play in it or not.

Of course it's not relevant which I think helps demonstrates how problematic it is. And yes, this why I'm choosing not to play in sanctioned games.

zero Law stress? You mean the unsanctioned bridge is *better* at UI issues than the sanctioned game? Or it's only important to you that they're gaming the system if Masterpoints™ are on the line, or you're being charged more to be gamed?
Zero law stress because I'm not paying to play in a game which charges a premium as a sanctioned club which tells me "Games must be conducted in accordance with both the letter and the spirit of ACBL regulations as well as the Laws of Duplicate Bridge." , I have no such expectations at a non sanctioned club.

It might be the same players. Is it the same directors?
No, but if I play BCD, BM is NOT happy sitting at my table for the session, and the players less so.
