This hand came up last night when I was doing voice commentary on the closed room of the Round 7 Bermuda Bowl encounter between Israel and Egypt. The Herbts brothers were NS for Israel and Said-Nabil EW for Egypt. East-West were playing 5-card majors 2/1 GF. I have no idea if the ruling was appealed so it's in the Laws & Rulings thread for the time being.
During the auction the vugraph operator reported the following (verbatim):
"2NT alert at SW"
"but not at N/E side of the screen"
"N points at XX to tell E XX would be minors"
"now N is tell E something, cant hear it" (after the slow 3NT bid came back to the N/E side)
"E still in the tank" (the 4♦ bid took a long time also)
After the play was finished:
"asking director"
"N called and explains, that his point is about the hesitation from W and the 4♦ bid after 2 minutes of thinking from W"
About one hour later:
"director at the table, referring to board 1"
"telling: 3NT -1 first board 1"
"E not amused"
"director said 5/6 players who he asked passed 3NT after that hesitation"
Just the "facts" as per the BBO records at this stage, but I think this hand has a few ruling issues in it and I'd been keen to hear people's thoughts.
