No alerts or explanations were required or given. East thought his cuebid showed spades and another suit, while the agreement as understood by West and shown on the convention card was that it showed the majors. West interpreted 3 spades and 4 diamonds as cuebids. Note that West is a passed hand, which reduces the probability that he holds a long heart suit. This resulted in a near top, since many went down in 5 diamonds.

I was not involved, but when asked later, I could find no reason to adjust. Can you? The director did.

I would like to know what reason he found, 'cause I don't see one.

nice auction. Maybe for the wrong reasons, but no infraction that I can see. It is o.k. to have a misunderstanding and land on your feet. Can't see where anyone took advantage of anything.

Sorry, this is what they call "getting fixed". Take it and move on.

Also, "rub of the green".
