Everyone in the tournament bid the same

Would you bid 3spades as a rebid

[LBengtsson]

Using the Gazzilli Convention should get you there, especially an extended version as opposed to the simplified option, especially if North upgrades his hand to a 2♦ positive response after 2♣. I think the upgrade is right here as North has a doubleton honor in the ♠ suit, a stiff, and good intermediates to support the honors in the minor suits.

Similarly South has to upgrade their hand to use the Gazzilli convention in the first instance also. The suit quality of the ♠ suits merits a upgrade imo.

So 1♠ - 1NT - 2C (Gazzilli) - 2D(8HCP+) etc so result in game being bid.

The auction is normal.

If you reverse South's minor suits, game is extremely poor. Any auction that doesn't uncover the club fit is just resulting (tailoring your bids to what gets the best results, rather than what you'd really do at the table). The auction is normal, Gazzilli or no Gazzilli.

Not with Gib where 2♠ is 6+ and quite wide ranging.
I would consider 3♠ with a human playing more traditional agreements, it's a slight overbid but not unreasonable at this vulnerability IMO.
