Hesitation plus different explanations ( 19:57:08 FriDec 13 2002 )
UK, Imp Teams of 4 KO match, Love All, Dlr W.


West        East
1D          1S
1N(15-17)   2C checkback
2H          3D
4C          4N
5C          5D after 5 min think
6D


NS reserve their rights. While thinking about his lead, North asks about the bidding and the following discrepancy comes to light.
According to West, 4NT was RKCB, 5C was 0/3.
According to East, 4NT showed a bad hand for the bidding so far, and 5C was a further slam try with CK.

North leads HQ


8              AK109
AK54           72
A864           K1097
A872           J53


6D makes when North fails to split from SQJx at trick 2 and trumps split 3-2.

Please explain what should the ruling be?

Cheers
Gareth

First of all, consider misinformation. N/S were not going to bid, and when North mis-defended he knew what declarer thought the bidding meant, so even if there was misinformation there was cklearly no damage.

It is difficult to beleive that West could possibly pass 5. Even with the hesitation surely no West would ever pass at this stage, so the result stands.

You might ask why it is sucha bad slam if West's bidding is evident. I really think East's actions show a degree of optimism that deserved a minus score. :lol:
