Fouled boards
During an all-play all event, a board is rotated 180 degrees before the cards are returned to the slots, so the N hand is now in the S slot etc.
It's not evident from the scores when this happened, and none of the players can remember their hand on the board.
Is there anything we can do? Does it matter too much if we don't do anything?
Supplementary 1:
Now a player who played the board about 2/3 way through the event does remember, and it had been fouled by then. Does this make any difference?
Supplementary 2:
In this case only the North and South hands have been swapped, but it's still not possible to tell when it happened. Is this fouled "too much" so that we cancel all play of the board?
Comments
EBUScore lets you mark the "2nd state" scores with F so the scores are calculated separately.
Even if scores are similar, wrong hands in pockets fouls the board as opener has different hand etc.
Others may disagree but for a club event you could at least mark all the boards including and after the reported fouled board as 2nd state; I think that would be preferable to averaging.
