Today i directed my first online tournament.

First round i was called to a table, one pair complaining about slow play.

When I looked at it 7NT were already 2 down. Then table closed.

So i wonder wouldn't it be better if the score would be set to the "interim result" if there is one.
If e.g. A player anounced 3NT and has gained 9 tricks he gets a 9 trick result.
If a kontract is already down, the result is set to -x tricks.

Only if the kontrakt is neither make nor down the score is set to Ave-.

Otherwise i'm in 7NTXX-8, i wait until time runs out, because Ave- is better than what i got.


any comment?

Director(s) always can take a look at the movie and adjust accordingly.
That's what I do when I direct, and what I request when I play.

You are of cause right, and i probably stated my point not well enough. What i ment was an automatic score correction for both sides to the "table result", so that the director does not have to do too many corrections.

Hope this is more clear.

I see your point now. You are giving rest to declarer, just in case.
It could be right, and then no adjustment required.
It can help sometimes, but not sure how much.

In fact i give the rest to the declarer if he ist allready down,
and i give the rest to the defending axis if contract is made.
