Declarer plays 3NT making 6 tricks.

On the play of AKQXX   by E  (partner has JXXX).  At the end of the hand Dec calls Director.

East states that over a 1NT opening bid , 2D shows 8-13 HCP and a 5 card major. Director awards NS an adjusted score of5C making 11 Tricks.

E explain  he missed the 1C opening bid by S.

How do you

On the evidence presented, there does not appear to have been any infraction. 2D was simply a mistaken bid. There was nothing that required alerting by East or West. West has not taken any suspicious action which may have allowed for East having forgotten the system or made a misbid. Unless the director is able to identify some infraction, there are no grounds for awarding an adjusted score.
