[blml] SF Non-NABC Appeal 12

I would like to see claim-law simplified to facilitate claims. I tend 
to agree with David Burn about existing claim-law. Here the director 
and committee gave declarer the benefit of the doubt but I think they 
should have disallowed his claim. Declarer claimed  without stating a 
line of play. If he drew the outstanding trump the contract was likely 
to fail. Much later, when the director returned to ask declarer what 
his line of play would have been, declarer was adamant that he would 
not draw the last trump. The committee seriously considered giving the 
aggrieved appellants a AWMW! That would really add insult to injury!
