Tonight playing in the 6:30 eastern ACBL Pairs, on board 12, with the opps in 3NT and we had three tricks already and I claimed down 1 with two more high tricks. Declarer rejected the claim and let the time run out so the tourney was over.

I asked the TD for an adjustment, and I saw the board changed to 3NT -1.

However in the hand records it is still recorded as A-:

Did the TD need to do something else to ensure the correct result was recorded for this board? Have other pairs lost adjustments on the last board, or is this just a one time thing?

Note: a change will not (should not) change our placing - I raise this issue to understand how TDs handle last board problems.

[inquiry]

The hands are written to myhands in about 30 seconds or so after the last hand is played. The TD has until the tournament disappears from the list of completed tournaments to change the result. The change does not show up immediately, and in some cases, apparently never shows up. I have seen them show up later and seen them appear to never show up.

So players have no way of confirming (and/or knowing) a late adjustment has been recorded?

It seems then that TDs could make changes that players would be completely unaware of. This is a bad process. Instead whatever is being given to the ACBL should be accurately reflected in the results posted by BBO.

At our local clubs, the TDs post the final results on the Internet after all adjustments have been made. I suggest BBO consider something on these lines too.

[inquiry]

of course when myhands is updated, the new result is shown.

and when does this occur?

[uday]

Hands are sent to "myhands" exactly once, when the tourney ends.

Subsequent adjustments are not recorded there. We have logs of adjustments in the rare event that we need to go back and determine whether one did or didnt occur.

subsequent adjustments are reflected in the leaderbd

Thanks for explaining uday. When the leaderbd is adjusted, would it be much of a problem to send the updated hand records to "myhands"?

Or, perhaps, send it once when the tourney ends and one more time when the TD adjustment period ends.
