Yes Jeff you are correct in that 12C1(e) does involve more than just 
giving a 'bad/bad' split score.  The fact that this was a BAM event will 
lead to some simplification and, depending upon the result at the other 
table, it might at least some of the time devolve back to just a 
lose/lose board.

However if we assume that the result at the other table was E/W +650, 
then it becomes very easy to separate out the damage due to the UI 
infraction from the later damage due to the silly double. The original 
infraction (from a N/S perspective) converted a winning board into a 
tied board.  The subsequent double then changed the tie into a loss.

So on this occasion, if we accept that the double really does qualify 
under 12C1(e), then the final adjustment would be a loss for E/W 
(returning their score back to 3SW +200) and a tie for N/S (in effect 
'win' minus 'the difference between draw and loss').
