Robodupe tourney. The description of 2S sure gives the impression it is forcing with its 11+ total points requirement, but North failed to find a bid.

Agree it should be forcing. But if you look at the description, it is 11+, no mention of forcing. In other areas this description indicates that the bid can be passed. Of course it is a very poor description since "11+" includes 15, 20 or more. It it is going to be NF it should at least indicate a maximum range of something like 12. But this reverse is clearly a forcing bid in standard, 2/1 or any system I know of.

LOL, even if it isn't forcing to game, it must be forcing 1 round at least. But even if it wasn't forcing in some alternate universe, why not take a preference or do anything else instead of passing in a 4-2 fit?
