Hi, first of all: its not "the Germans", it is exactly one pair. To be precise, its only one player from this pair. Lets call them Dr. W and Dr. E, or, if appropriate, the Docs. I do think, they shd be punished im some way, but this an internal Affair of the German Bridge Federation, as they did not violate any rules (as far as I know). If there is a rule that has been violated, then the Pair (ideally the player) shd be punished in an appropriate way, maybe by ban, maybe money maybe whatsoever. I agree on that it depends on the manner in whick they left the room. But the leaving itself is imho not to be punished. @Roland#1 did the Docs really give away those bad scores _deliberately_? Who says so? Proof? Is it forbidden to have a bad day? @Roland, #2 Please stick to the Rules. I feel you are making this very personal and heavy. As you are the official Coordinator of the Vuegraphs on BBO, I expect somewhat more moderate posts. Maybe this expectation is not shared here, then feel free to proceed.
