Each pair has a guide card on which is clearly shown at which table they are to play each round and which boards are to be played. During the match at one table the wrong boards are taken and it is only discovered after (at least) one board has been played. There is no stationary pair at the table. Question 1: do you agree that both pairs are equally responsible for the mistake, for playing a wrong board? Question 2: if you do agree then do you agree that both pairs should have the same, or equal sanctions (penalty, etc.)? One pair had already played the boards; the other had not and was scheduled to play the set later. The TD could give each pair an equivalent procedural penalty for playing the wrong boards but it should be the same for each pair. Question 3: do you agree? Regardless of such a possible penalty the pair that had already played the boards is not affected. Their result from the earlier play of the boards is valid. The pair that later is scheduled to play the boards will not be able to play the board/boards it has already seen. It will be given a score of 40% on this/these board/boards. Question 4: do you agree? Thus one pair will be "penalised" (at least have an unfavourable adjusted score9 and the other will not. Thus they will not be treated equally. Question 5: do you agree? Question 6: if you do agree with this is it not a violation of the principle of equal sanctioning of both pairs?
