| Monday Afternoon's Results |
We have had to re-calculate Monday afternoon's results after a problem with one of the boards came to light.
At one table, at the end of the first round the cards were put back into the wrong slots - East's cards in South's slot, South's in West's, and so on. The result was that the board was played in the correct orientation at 9 tables, and the wrong orientation at 8. This only came to light after the original scores were posted, and they were therefore incorrect. Corrected scores were posted late on Monday.
This sort of change is particularly annoying for those whose scores or placings go down. Please help to avoid a recurrence by being careful to replace the cards correctly. It's worth noting that Law 7A says "When a board is to be played it is placed in the centre of the table until play is completed.", and one reason for that Law is to reduce the likelihood of this sort of mishap. Please note that it is therefore wrong to take the board off the table; it is also wrong to cover up its label (for example, by placing the Bridgemate over it) since another reason for leaving the board in the centre of the table is so that all players can see the vulnerability and dealer at all times. Finally, this sort of mistake is easily made if sitting-out players take the hands out of their sit-out boards to inspect them: this is also, strictly speaking, a breach of the Laws.
