   Remember that the poster has given his jurisdiction, as we often ask 
but do not always get.  Actually, he has only said 'UK' but assume for a 
moment it is England or Wales.

   As a matter of regulation, In England or Wales, Ave+/Ave- is correct 
for a fielded misbid, a fielded deviation or an illegal agreement. 
Ave+/Ave- plus a PP of at least standard is correct for a fielded 
psyche.  The board is played out, and if the opponents get more than 
Ave+, the score is not altered, though the PP for a fielded psyche is 
still given.
