Hi, suppose after a long auction East-West reach 4S. During the bidding 
there was an agreed MI: East misinformed North about one of his 
partner's bid. The MI drives North to sacrifice 5H which is doubled and 
goes down 2, the 4S would have been down 2 as well. With correct 
information North would surely pass instead of sacrifice (and the 4S-2 
is the very likely result). If you are the TD, you see North's hand and 
decides if the sacrifice is reasonable or clearly bad bridge with the 
received information.

#1 If the sacrifice is reasonable. You adjust  4S-2.

#2 If the sacrifice seems really bad with the MI as well, then result 
5H*-2 stands and give a procedural penalty to the OS.

#3 If the sacrifice is reasonable, but for example during the play the 
declarer goes down once more then he should have, you adjust a split score.

Am I right? Is there any quite different situation when split score is 
adjusted? E.g. is it possible to adjust a split score in #2?

cheers
Laci
