Last evening, a strange thing happened in the club where I play duplicates. Two score travelers disappeared before entered into the comp. The session had 10 tables, 30 boards, Mitchel movement, Butler scoring.
What is TD supposed to decide:

- to annul entire session;
or
- to announce results as it is;
or
- to do some result modification?

Though the competition is the official one, it appeared to be very important issue to all participants.
Can anyone give me a hint?

Can't think I would ever annul the entire session.

I would try to reconstruct the missing travellers from players personal score cards. If you can't complete that the TD may need to do make some phone calls to gather all the scores. If that is the case I would announce a preliminary result without the missing boards.

I heard of a case where someone found the missing travellers in her purse a couple of days after the event.
