Claim Ruling ( 22:21:37 FriSep 27 2002 )
Dummy has a trump , K J 6 of hearts and 8 6 3 of clubs and no diamonds .Declarer has a trump , A Q 4 of hearts and 7 4 3 of diamonds and no clubs .

The Contract is 4S and the lead is in dummy when declarer claims stating "trumps are drawn and the clubs are established , I will discard the losing diamonds " . RHO calls the director to object as she has a top club .Ruffing the club when RHO produces it is a new normal line of play and shall not be accepted by the Director if there is a normal but less successful line play available . When declarer's claim breaks down do you allow him to ruff and award him the rest of the tricks ( it would be irrational for this class of player not to ruff ) or do you rule that the new line is not accepted and rule for one down .

Thanks in advance .

If I have understood correctly, when declarer would have led a "good" club from dummy, to his surprise a bigger club would have appeared from RHO?

It is irrational not to ruff it now, and so the claim is allowed, albeit a fautly one.

If LHO had had the top club then a trick would be lost.
