Of course A- is a sanction. The expected value of a board is 50%, so if 
you get 40%, that is a sanction.
I agree wholeheartedly with those here ho argue that the two pairs are 
not treated equally, and saying that they get the same penalty is just 
covering up tactics.
I would, in this case, either give 50% to the second pair and a penalty 
to both sides, or give a penalty only to one pair so as not to have to 
explain to the totally innocent third pair why their opponents get 50% 
hen clearly at fault.
