So I'm directing a local bridge game while I sit on here, and get called to the table
At trick 10 west led a spade, and south, declaring 3 diamonds, ruffs with the 10 of diamonds, then leads back the Ace of spades to trick 11. After its all settled the result is 3 diamonds down 5
3 Rounds later I get called to the table, and on the exact same board, in the exact same contract and situation, south ruffed the spade lead with the diamond 10 and led the A of spades to trick 11.
lol.

If that was the only way to make the contract, is it surprising that two declarers found it?

Not had that, but on consecutive sessions of the same monthly tournament, I had opponents fail to follow to a suit on the first round, fail to follow to the second round then realise they had a card in the suit.

One director's instructions: "If you're going to revoke, your opponents *will* notice if you lead that suit to the next trick. If you wait a few tricks, they might have forgotten..."
And a player - who is very much not noted for this kind of sense of humour at the table, especially not at the opponents' expense: "Our opponents have invented a novel method of crossruffing. West led a diamond that East ruffed, and then East led a diamond that West ruffed." (Please note, the opponents were exactly the pair to phrase it that way against. She *still* apologized to them afterward.)
