[Sven Pran] 
Sometimes I do wonder if you understand what you claim you are reading?

The fact is that pair A plays a board against pair B in a round when this
board is not scheduled for them to be played. Pair A had already played that
board in an earlier round while pair B is scheduled to play that board
later.

What I am saying is that pair A keeps the result they made on that board
when they played it the first time while as pair B can no longer obtain any
valid result on that board they must accept an artificial adjusted score.
And as pair B is (jointly) responsible for the irregularity their AAS shall
be AVE-.

The reason while pair A and pair B are seemingly treated differently is that
only pair B must take an artificial adjusted score.

Would it be more fair if the law stated that the result already obtained by
pair A should be cancelled so that they also would receive AVE-?

Would it be more fair if pair A alone was penalized 10% of a top to
"compensate" for the AVE- awarded to pair B while was not penalized because
they already had been given that AVE- score?
That would certainly be treating the pairs differently.
