(and yes, PPs should preferably be listed on the final ranking)

Lusobrasil here (telecine was the old nickname). PP on a pairs event are assigned to the pair. On an individual event they can be assigned to a player or a pair (so best in programming terms is to have the possibility to assign the penalties on an individual event to any of the four players, on a pairs event to any of the two pairs). No limit, maybe the software can by default suggest -10% of the top on matchpoint scored events, -3 imps on teams events. Note that "penalties" should also cover compensations - and this should mean no extra programming effort. It is possible that a TD may want to give on top of a result adjusted at a table, + something to some, - something to others. And by the way, please please, an option for a TD to see the frequencies on a board during the tournament...

of course, but we are dealing with a case where you didnt, and how it is dealt with(without unduly benefiting the other pair). Claims (or any irregularities) should not be used as a means to profit without merit (as a general principle; I don´t want to start arguing about revokes and such).

WISH (2) - A way to adjust a score for a pair (or a player in an individual), and not for the opponents (for example, to be able to substract 10% of a top for "bad manners"). Or to adjust against a pair that reached a superior contract through U.I., and not in favour of opponents who took a wild and gambling action after that.

ANOTHER WISH: Instead of a pop window for every call, have a dinamic window where all pending calls are stated. Sometimes two or three players from the same table call the TD and it gets a little annoying (adds to the pressure).

Cascade is right on the last post. The claimer is not allowed to play one specific opponent for a given card without a (very) strong reason from the bidding and play, caliber of the player being taken into account. If the Q is dropping the claimer finesses, if the finesse is on the claimer plays for the drop; In a two-way finesse if the Q is in East the claimer plays through West, and vice-versa. In the first case, without the bidding, and the level of players, dont be too hasty on saying "One trick to North"... One thing I´ve learned in a number of occasions, is that when somethjing is missing from the story, it is the most relevant part generally... Rui Marques (Portugal)

OK, one from last BBO UNIBRIDGE, Wednesday: One of my helpers, while I was in a peak of work, saw an offline player with 12 cards played and subbed him. The substitute was LeggyGodiv, and she beats a world record for sure, because the substitution was in the last card of the LAST board! Telecine (Rui Marques)
