average for late ( 09:05:38 SatAug 31 2002 )
Hello all

The first board was difficult and the players are in late
They are bidding the second when I ask to move. I see that S have bid 6NT, is declarer, and W have doubled with AK of Spades !
Our rules are to aplly 40 minus to both sides, but it is a club tournament, their first infraction, so I give Average to each.
W is not happy, but I explain it is the rules
Say both have finished with 60 %. In fact I have robbed 40 % to E-W ( they had a clear top ) and I have offered 60 % to N-S ( they had a clear zero )

How to respect equity while following the rules ?
Many thanks in advance

If you are going to have rules like this then you will get arguments, and to be honest, I am afraid you deserve arguments with rules like these! :frown:

In most of the world once you have started a board you are always allowed to finish it. I strongly advise you to follow this in future.

You can always apply pressure in other ways. You can stop people from starting a board within two minyutes of the move being called, apply procedural penalties, or anything else you like.
