Sometimes it happens that the number of tricks was not entered correctly in some board. This can happen for a number of reasons, the most likely being that it was not clear what happened at the table (some players really make this confusing!). But now the sad part: when you change the number of tricks, this is a score correction and the movie is lost! Maybe this can be avoided in the future?

It would indeed be great if a claim could be amended without losing the play details.

A good habit to get into is to confirm the number of tricks with the players for every hand regardless of how obvious it is.

A work-around that doesn't result in losing the play details is to edit the result for the board in the LIN file after it's all finished - but of course this will result in an incorrect result going to the vugraph audience.
