This is true, and the way to go with duplicated boards, but at a club 
with no duplicating machine you would shuffle and deal for several 
rounds, which holds up the game no end, even if you can protocol the 
distributions by Bridgemate, and not every club has them.

The fairest way to handle the situation in question (moving pairs X and Y play a board that X already played against W and Y is scheduled to play later against Z) is to score the board as not played by Y and average-plus for Z and give X and Y a procedural penalty of 10% of a top or 3 IMPs (the difference between average and average-minus). If you’re looking for legal justification for a score of “not played,” try 82B2.
