Some days ago I played a tournament and in the beginning of the Xth round the judge was called by oppo. And oppo said "I was called an idiot". And judge asked "who was calling that?" And after a second of reflection oppo said the nick of my pd.

In a moment my pd was banned. I have got new partner. I tried to discuss the situation with the judge. That nobody said anything, and maybe it was the situation from the previous table because we just were starting table and noone had any reason to call anyone any names. The judge told me that the pd of oppo affirmed the situation. And I did not see that. Maybe it was private communication. And the judge did not ask me or my pd about the situation.

In the end I was assured that we are not blacklisted! Me - who was not accused of anything and my pd who was banned but not blacklisted.

I think that the accuser should be blacklisted for such accusation with no merit. And the judge who trusted him.

It is like Kafka's "The Trial" where the hero is prosecuted but he does not know why. Here it is more visible who and why but with only one sentence calling the judge you can lose all your reputation only if someone else (the pd of the accuser) affirms the call.

Later I wrote letters to both oppos why they made it and got no answer.

It looks to me as if you are getting heated about little.
The opponents accused your partner of abuse, Director accepted that and booted your partner.
At worst, Director may have been a bit superficial and your opponents untruthful.
Unless this is serious competition with a paid Director I don't think you can expect much different.
In any case your reputation is undamaged as is your possibility to play.
If you just discovered that not all opponents are gentlemen, welcome to bridge

...and if his partner truly did call his opponent an idiot, not all CHOs are ladies and gentlemen, either.

Oh I'm sorry, I know all our members are ladies and gentlemen, what I meant to say is, 'some of you have brought - friends.' "

(**) "That guy called me an ass."
"I heard the argument", said Harry [Goldwater], "you called him a jerk, and that call is forcing for one round."
