East cashed the AKQ♥, but then exited with a ♥, allowing me to claim my 10 top tricks for +950.
The bidding at the other table was a little bit more wild.
West led a ♠, and the defence accurately held South to 3 tricks for -2600.

Playing in a junior teams match, we bid to 3NT, promptly doubled by East:

Doubling 3NT with that hand is really, really bad.

Also I think both east AND west should have bid.
Also what was 3NT opener? That seems bad too!

I wasn't at the table that opened 3NT, but I think they said later it was a sort of gambling 3NT.

First table - double of 3NT is slightly suicidal, but understandable. West deserved what he got for not overcalling 3S or something (and/or East deserved what he got for not watching partner's signals).
Second table - I can't understand the 3NT bid... or the 4NT bid... or the 6NT bid! Wonder if North and South had hands from different packs of cards!

West at my table seemed fairly inexperienced. I don't remember what she discarded, so maybe her partner had no clear signal.

Disagree. I'f I'm East, I'd cash my 4 sure tricks, and if we calculate the IMP odds of how much the dbl would cost, I don't think it would be really really bad odds.
