On the 1st board I'd rebid 3♦ at any form of scoring. This hand has too much potential for a mere raise IMO. There's a game bonus even at MP.
On the 2nd board north's got to act over 2♠. You can't sell out this easy with that hand.
What went wrong? A couple hands from a club game

Late to this post having been away at the nordic teams championships since Monday.

On the 2nd board north's got to act over 2♠. You can't sell out this easy with that hand.

On hand 1, either 2♠ shows four cards and South should rebid 3♠ (not really invitational, but...) or it doesn't and North should bid 3♠.
On hand 2, I think North should double twice (support and then takeout).
<PROPAGANDA>Life would be easier with five-card major answers, wouldn't it? Oh, but wait, you can show five spades over a natural 2♣, or use the Montreal relay over 1♣.</PROPAGANDA>

Board 1 is normal. I know a pair who would mini-splinter with the North hand and they would reach this game, but I'm not sure it's worth the costs in terms of describing the slightly better mini-splinter hands and in terms of ending too high when the hands don't fit that well.
At board 2, I think North could balance with a double. At IMPs I would pass, though.

The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket
