For me the communication or rather the lack on communication it some of the most difficult parts of being TD. English is not my first language and sometimes i really find it difficult to be clear and sometimes i dont understand players...

Here 3 stories of today...

In the first i might have made a blooper... maybe the player was subbed in and that is why he noticed something strange?

In the second i think the player was not treated ok with me or not straight or..?

In the third i think someone even managed to be more blond than i am, well, if possible :lol:



First storie:

player B: in 3.board we play the 4!S but write opps

player B: do you understand me
->player B: yes, u were west there u know?

player B: in my board is 620 they score
player B: because we play and win 4!S
->player B: i look here and here ok.. it must be a bug...... look later if it is correct.. here it is:)
->player B: here 4s for east made

player B: i ll come to j…'s there

->player B: sry?
player B: and i play the 4!S and game is =
->player B: yes it is here ok 4s=

player B: in board wrong i think

->player B: but here ok i tell you



Second storie:
