3NT from S.

 

1. West leads A, 8 from East.

2. West K, 2 from East, small from West, small from S.

 

Clocked online tournament, round finished.

You are director, what will you adjust?

 

EW using standard signals.

Need more information. Why did they get only two tricks into the deal?

 

Clearly 3NT is going down with standard signals and normal play at this point, as west will now switch back to diamonds, and five diamonds, 1H and 1S later it is down three. But in general, I would not rule on a hand so early in play, and let both sides have their average minus. The exception necessary for online bridge is is if there was evidence that NS were stalling to prevent the down three from being marked up, in which case I would rule 3NT down three. But that is hard to prove.
