Match points, all vulnerable, playing 2/1, Michaels, equal level conversion, standard takeout double (with ELC)
You are West in second seat, first seat opens one club promising 2+clubs, 12+hcp.

I abstained because unfamiliar with ELC (which is not standard nor particularly well endorsed).
Without it I double, national style is that my spades are at the limit but my diamonds may be worse than this.

My surprise this is your nations style but ok. If pass was not permitted, option2 would be one no trump for me.

At my age "10". Looks a Doubleton diamond,
