  *1 The club 3 was played after a long hesitation, and was suit preference according to E-W's agreements. The director ruled that 25% of the time, had the club 3 been played promptly, East would have shifted to a diamond, allowing 4S to make. Therefore he awarded NS 3 IMPs on the board, 25% of what they would have won had they made 4S.
