I hate to admit it, but I think you also have to consider a club partial on #2....or maybe you didn't mention it because it gets a zero.

1♥-1NT
2♣-2♠ (♣ raise)
3♠

What does 3♠ mean? Patterning out or stopper ask or club cue? What is 3♦ then?
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

prefer 4d over 2s.

any bid between 2s and 3nt is a try for 3nt first and foremost. Game before slam.

I assume you mean 2♦ and not 4♦? We were not playing Bart here. 2♦ would be NF for us.

On Board 2 (the first of these two hands), two pairs reached a hopeless 3NT. Let's call that a 1 MP score.
Six clubs has very reasonable play (set up long heart, fall back on ♠ finesse, if necessary), or major suit squeeze. No one bid it. But 5♣ has to be better than 3♣. So the scores I had in mind are

6♣ = 10
5♣ = 8
4♣ = 5
3NT = 2

Three and four hearts have play, but since no one bid them, I will not share what I thought they deserved. If you think the possibility of heart contracts should have a more dramatic effect on the scores above, speak up. Gnasher and East4Evil move into first after this board.

On Board 3 (the second of these hands), the players did well. This was added by me with the thought that they might overbid.
3♦ = 8
2♥/2♠ = 6
games zero.
Gnasher still in first after this board, but TylerE/bidemup and the goodwin's are only 1 point behind.

Just an FYI, not sure if putting us in first was a typo after board 2, but I think we reached 3NT there, making it highly unlikely we were in first.
