A curious result from the celtic sims

This was the auction as it occurred at my table. +300 ended up being close to a sims top. It was only beaten by 2 tables who had managed to score +660 as E/W. I'm looking at the board and wondering how that could possibly happen. E/W being vulnerable means they must have been in 3NT making 11 tricks. It seems inconceivable that the defense would be botched so badly as to allow that to happen, so any ideas?

NS made 11 and it was scored the wrong way ?

I'm struggling to see how you even manage 11 tricks by N/S, but there were a number who made 9 or 10 so I guess that would work. Anyway, I managed to track down the occurrences, and they were both at the same club. Looking at the travellers at this club, it's almost like they were playing a different set of boards.

 

Here's another board from the event:

There was a +690, a +650 and a +630 for N/S...

Looks like something similar, I know in the Tolly (I wasn't there I was ill and I normally check the results) we lost a match because a 600 was scored in the wrong column, which is horribly expensive at crossimps and the scorers didn't pick it up.
