1. Yes: we play Suction, so each bid shows the suit above or the other
two (with some wrinkles).
2. It's penalty by an unpassed hand; we open anything unbalanced 5+
and balanced 12+, so a passed hand cannot be good enough to double for
penalties.  We haven't discussed what it means, but I am having
difficulty seeing any profit in getting involved at all (it's most
likely that we have nothing making; they might not be able to make
1NT).
