The player who bid 3C has acted correctly see Law 20F5b{ii]
Either defender might feel that the incorrect explanation has affected his
choice of call during the auction and must call the Director if that is the
case. The Director will then apply Law 21B. Failing to call the Director
implies that neither defender would have called differently from what they
actually did had they been given correct information at the time.
Here the incorrect explanation was corrected before the opening lead was
faced. The opening lead may then be withdrawn and a different opening lead
be substituted see Law 47E2
There is apparently no reason here for the defending side to request an
adjusted score nor for the Director to award any adjusted score on this
board. An appeals committee would most probably dismiss an appeal and keep
the charge.

Emne: [BLML] Law 11 (and perhaps 12)
Purely for my education (I was not involved in the event)
>From a recent (completed) Western Australian State Championship.
A pair was bidding towards a slam in spades. There was no opposition
bidding.
During the auction, one of the declaring side bid 3C, alerted by his partner
and described on request as first or second round control in clubs.
The auction ended in 6S.
The opening lead was made face down then the 3C bidder corrected his
partners explanation to shortage (splinter) in clubs.
The opening lead of a spade was faced and 12 tricks duly rolled in.
The Director had not been called at this stage.
The contract however went off on a club lead
..
And so the Director was called.
Would you adjust?
If after consideration of Law 11 you would adjust,
Would you consider a failure to call the director a serious error.
In the event that this went to appeal, how would your committee rule
Best wishes
