I head to the local, accredited, sanctioned, costly, ACBL Bridge Club for the second time in 2 weeks for the 10am game.
Due to the inclement weather, there are only 5 tables. We play a Howell movement.
By 12:30pm the snow is coming down, one pair decide they won't be able to get home if they defer their departure, and leave mid game with 3 rounds to go.

I'm obviously not delighted to miss 3 boards but what can I do.

I check the results later, all of the boards affected have been scored as Not Played.

If I was living in Vanvouver - or elswhere in Canada - this would probably be the least of my worries. Anyway, what else can you do than NP? It's an obvious case of force majeur.

If we follow the Laws in regards to boards in play, there is no provision for NP.
