I am directing, and having to fill in a 10-table web. It's been a busy session (partner said "I think you had at least one call every round"), and halfway through, I get a call for a revoke. "We would have taken 5 diamond tricks, but he didn't play a diamond until it was good."

Okay, finish the hand, we'll discuss.

Director, please!

"Declarer just found the diamond J, after we cashed 5 diamond tricks." Okay, play it out, we'll discuss after the hand.

The expected time later: "Director! He took 9 tricks, we're not sure he has 8 running after we take our 5 diamonds."
"Director! She took the last trick with the diamond J, making 8 tricks."

Yeah, I had the same revoke, on the same hand, at the same time, at two different tables. I've certainly had "that board", but usually it's in a tournament with 6 (or 12!) copies in play, and never simultaneously.

(and the icing on the cake was that I hadn't played it yet. So I had to say "I know something about this hand, but I don't think it will affect our play" and then without a care in the world put partner's head in the noose because it was the obvious call. Strange, *partner* didn't revoke as they took their 5 diamond tricks into 3NT...)
