Sven, Law 82B explicitly allows the Director to “cancel the play of a board” (i.e., score it as “not played”) rather than award an adjusted score.

    To rectify an error in procedure the Director may:
    1.  award an adjusted score as permitted by these Laws.
    2.  require, postpone or cancel the play of a board.
    3.  exercise any other power given to him in these Laws.

So I still think, as I originally wrote,

(see 82B2)
