Hanoi5 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Say the Director rules a result for one team/pair and another result for the other team/pair. When they are comparing their results/doing the results one team/pair finishes +17 while the other -23. So if this has to be translated to VP's it will look like: 15.75 and 2.89 (or 17 - 11 by the old 30-VP table). Is there a case of this happening in a team match in a world championship? Is this allowed? Can you link me to such a case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordontd Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 The answer to your middle question is easy: L12C1(f) The scores awarded to the two sides need not balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm more worried about the alternative case where director makes an error, both sides get plus scores on the board and a match finishes with more than the normal number of VPs in total. (20 point VP scale example, 3 IMPs to both sides on director error) A 12-12 draw causing the team that went home 11 VPs ahead of both these teams with 2 to qualify to then finish behind both of them seems rather unfair.

We've had one match at Brighton in the past where both teams won: there was a single IMP in the match and a board was unplayable due to the neighbouring table announcing the result, giving us both 3 IMPs. As the Laws do not mention 'protecting the field', all you can do is be fair to those involving in rulings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
