the score sheet has gone ( 13:53:07 SatSep 7 2002 )
What do you do in the case the score sheet of a hand can not be found and many of the players have gone?

It is the second time that have ocurred in my club in this month.

1. Try to reconstruct all of the scores - get the scores from players who have not yet left, and get a hold of those who have (call them at home, if necessary).
2. Since this seems to be a recurring problem, try using pickup slips in addition to travelers in the future.

I do not think you want to use pickup slips if you can avoid it: they are unpopular with players, and rightly so.

A little investigation would be no bad thing. Unless someone is being very naughty it is likely to be one person's stupidity. Did the same person play the board last? Is there some lady with a large handbag helping collect them at the end?

Hopefully it will not happen again, but I would be cautious for a month or two. Get a couple of useful friends to be on the lookout at the end of the session.

Any scores you cannot reconstruct will have to be scored as average plus to both sides, which is not satisfactory.
