Matchpoints, intermediate opps, none vuln. You hold

♠ 8xxx

♦ xxx
♣ Tx

LHO RHO

All natural, including 4♦ (6-4 or better). And yes, opps don't seem to know what they're doing :)

Thx all. This was the full hand:

Scoring: MP

North South
3♣ 3♠
4♦ 4♥
4♠ pass

(all bids natural)

Diamond led.
Result: 11 tricks, NS +450.

I was directing the event. West asked South what 4♦ meant, and was answered "control bid". He led a diamond, and, having seen dummy, summoned me complaining North had no control in diamonds. Upon inquiry, I found out that NS had actually no agreement as to what 4♦ meant.

I ruled misinformation. In my country that doesn't lead to adjustment unless there is damage. West swore he would lead a club, had he knew 4♦ was natural. He said it was an "obvious lead, to kill dummy". Well, I didn't find that obvious at all, and asked a couple of players (none led a club), so I ruled result stands. West didn't appeal, but later on kept on nagging me about how leading a club was obvious. I told him at best only 10% of the people would lead a club. Apparently, I was right :ph34r:
