Pard said: DBL over any preempt overcall is penalty. I say it is still Neg-DBL if the values are there for that level. West North East South - - - - - - pass pass 1S 3D DBL |

Without discussion, I would take it as neg. We have had a discussion (apparently) and partner has insisted on penalty. Either I agree to that, convince partner to change, or find new partner. If I have not pursued either of the last two options, then clearly penalty it is! |

In my younger days I had a similar agreement: rather than playing negative to 3S, my agreement was "negative over simple and single-jump overcalls, penalty over double-jump overcalls." It was a sufficiently odd agreement that I haven't seen it since.
And we must remember that if you play SAYC, negative doubles end at 2S. It may be that that is what your partner is thinking of.
Still, these days there are very few good offline players who cut off negative doubles below 3S, and I feel like I'm in a minority to not play them at the 4-level too.
Of course if OPENER had preempted or opened a weak two, double WOULD be penalty, but that wasn't the example auction. |
