I am a playing director of the small friendly tournament. I got 5-5 in majors, Ace third diamonds and void in clubs. During the bidding I introduced both suit and declaring 2 spades. On the table 3-3 in majors and singl in diamond. Opponents lead clubs I ruff it with small heart in my hand. No complains from opponents. I took the Ace of diamonds, ruff diamond with small spade on the table and play another club, trumping it in my hand with heart. Still no complaints from opponents. Another diamond ruff by dummie’s spade and I command to play trump from the table. Dummy plays spade, RHO plays spade and at this moment I realized what is going on. Already as a joke saying “No, another trump.” Dummy returns spade to the table and plays heart, RHO returns spade to her hand and replaces it with heart. Not partner, not opponents still see anything out of ordinary. Of course we had a good laugh after I pointed out what just happened, so no conflict. But the question is: as a director what should be my approach to correct adjustment?

Small club. Weak player like to hire robot partner but having no interest to learn the system robot plays. At the start of the round she alerts opponents to ignore all automated alerts because she is bidding naturally. Because robots bidding system includes for example Cappelletti it may cause ridiculous situation and some opponents complaining that player cannon play different system with her partner. From the other hand she has no control on bidding agreements with robots and became victim of bidding misunderstandings much more often than benefit from them. I am director, invited to the table after opponents got a bad results forgetting to double 3 spades after 2 diamonds intervention by the player (natural/cappelletti) and 3 spades preemptive jump by robot. What should I do?

From March 13 I run twice per week small (5 tables) tournaments for our UN bridge club. Completely free for all players, of course. We discussed what to do if BBO will ask for money and majority of players are ready to pay. They thankful to BridgeBase for giving opportunity to continue play during the quarantine and consider it is fair enough if BBO will ask to pay some money in return. Of course the size of the requested fee is matter.

Sorry for asking question that certainly covered somewhere. Is it possible to add to the tournament couple of prepared boards - have a mix of random boards and prepared?

Hi diana_eva, is it possible to activate Howell movement for my account too?

After I'll lose to GIB is it ok for me to assume winner will post the results?

Playing from IPad. Table closed in the middle of the third board. Exit from application and re login did not help. Will try to test from PC. Not an issue for me, but probably something to be fixed before the main event started. Added later. Issue gone in 10 15 minutes. On ected and played from the same device

Funny mirroring. If I am not mistaking for both groups A and C qualified for the next round players sited 10, 2, 3 and 6.

Count me in please. Thanks for organizing.

Thanks, it was the adjustment. Wanted to check myself.

[hv=pc=n&s=shad32c2&n=sakh2dca]133|200[/hv] Trump is ♦. 4 card ending. Exact cards does not matter. Declarer (South) has two trumps (nobody else has trumps), top ♥ and small ♣ in his hand Dummy has top club, two top spades and a ♥. East on lead plays ♥. Obvious claim position, declarer cannot lose a trick by any normal play. Unfortunately, there were no claim. Declarer, very old person who forgot his glasses, trumped the ♥, played ♣ to the dummy, ♠ from the table trumped in his hand and the Ace of ♥, thinking it is the Ace of ♦. Now opponents called a director because of revoke. How many tricks out of last 4 should be given to them?
