Declarer played spade 8 from dummy.
E and W were waiting very long before playing next card. They were talking aal the time and not playing. (see Chat below)
Chat and last 6 tricks lasted about 7minutes.
Although I added 6min, last trick was not finished.
Server adjusted A--.

IMO:
1) N/S deserve 6♥X-1 for their bidding. They shouldn't have a benefit from E/W beeing rude.
2) E/W deserve a zero for their rudeness. But I can't do this with the actual software.
3) therefore I didn't change the A-- from server .

Your opinions?

Sorry made at first a Guggenheimanian mistake and thought 6♥x would make. It is a bit comical that EW by their arguing miss a good result, whilst propably hoping to evade a bad result by slowing down. Maybe the arguing was a bit of acting to have a pretext for the slowing down. Nevertheless penalties via abuse to EW both for arguing AND slowing down.

[Dwayne]

I'm with Guggie on this one.

If you're going to consider awaring 6♥x, then at least consider 7♥X making as a possible score.

Where is declarer's 12th trick? Or is the director assuming a revoke by either East or West.

That's a given but you can't manufacture a 12 the trick for NS just because EW were a pair of (alleged) ratbags.

Bring back the rope !

Hi Dwayne

I didn't not even consider 6♥X= or 7♥XX=. I put 6♥X= in my poll knowing some people who would prefer this decision.

What in my oininion must be the right score is:

NS: 6♥X-1 (anything else is unfair to the other N/S-Pairs)

EW: zero zero zero

But there is in this software no possibility to adjust in this way.

Therefore under given circumstances the least of evils seems to me A--.

I'm not happy with this, because both pairs get too much. NS deserve 10% (for bad bidding) and EW 0% (for rudness).

If the software allowed, I'd score it 6HX-1 both ways, then disqualify EW and place them last. Your request that thy not sign up for future tournaments of yours is quite proper.
