Not only it would be a very rare situation, it's also against the spirit of the game that you start defeated.

Since it is perfectly within the spirit of the game to save against opponents' slam or grand slam , expecting to go down a lot, but still gaining IMPs, why would it be against the spirit of the game to be able to judge that while the opps are making 7S , we can make 10 tricks in Diamonds? Why wouldn't we like to reward this judgement?

Edit: And one could go on. Shoud 9♣ then not be allowed? Perhaps partner sacs in 8♦, but we would like to overrule him in 9♣. Etc.

Or 8N.
I do think it would be interesting to play with a deck of 56 or 60 cards however

This is of course a pretty interesting excercise to play or to practice, just to change the thought pattern and stuff.

It'll never happen - the same people who griped about 7Sx-11 fav being only -2100 would have a hissy fit.
(X)-8♠-(P)-P
(X)-AP
* 8♣ - non-leaping michaels (expert treatment), ♣+major
** X - no desire to sacrifice at the 8 level
*** 8♥ - pass/correct for North's major
