Unplayed board in Swiss ( 08:04:49 ThuJan 30 2003 )
In a Swiss Team game of 6 boards/round, during one round, our NS pair was not allowed to play its sixth board because of extremely slow play by our opponents. Our EW pair had made a score of +450 on that board.

What is the proper scoring procedure in such a situation?

If the Director agrees that it was because your opponents were slow and not you then a normal score would be to give you Average Plus and them Average Minus. Thsi means you gain three imps on the board, and they lose three imps.

I am afraid that if he does not agree that it was their fault [and often both sides blame each other :sad: ] then both sides get a flat board.

If he agrees it was their fault then there are two further [but very rare] possibilities. First, if they are often doing this, he can give them a procedural penalty, taking a further 3 imps or half a Victory point from them. Sadly you do not get the benefit of this! :rolleyes:

Second, if he felt that your score in the other room was a very good one and he believes it was their fault then he just might give you an "assigned score" so you do not lose your good result. :ohwell:
