The TD
was called to the table after the play. The play went: {J to
the queen, [10 to the queen and ace, ]3 to the queen, [3 to
the king. Then East played a small diamond to the 10, and
another small diamond came back to the king, and then a small
spade from East. There was nothing on the convention card that
could support South's explanation of 5-5 in the
majors. | |

|
|
The TD,
as instructed by law 75, accepted North's explanation as the
correct one and ruled that the table result would
stand. | |
