This one has a side point. It probably doesn't matter much in a tournament that long, but the phrase that piqued my interest was the one to the effect that his previous opps were given forfeit wins. There needs to be a better procedure for this. I had this happen to me in a chess tournament in the 80s where I finished second in a 5 or 6 round tournament only dropping half a point without playing the guy who got full marks. The reason was that his first round opponent in an "under whatever grade" section was a very strong foreign player who shouldn't have been in the event, but only got recognised and thrown out during the last round. The winner's first round loss was changed to a win, and he beat easier opps for the rest of the afternoon to get the full score.
Not as much of a problem in bridge as how big a win is important so awarding 12-8, 13-7 or just factoring your score up is not too bad, it's not just win/lose/draw.

Not tried it, have doped with Diebels Alt and can confirm it's definitely good for recreational use rather than performance. Can give you a problem scoring with the birdies
