Laurie has put it accurately. I oversimplified.

    Yes Jeff you are correct in that 12C1(e) does involve more than just
    giving a &#39;bad/bad&#39; split score.=C2=A0 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.<br>
    <br>
    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.=C2=A0
    The original infraction (from a N/S perspective) converted a winning
    board into a tied board.=C2=A0 The subsequent double then changed the t=
ie
    into a loss.<br>
    <br>
    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 &#39;win&#39; minus &#39;the difference between draw and loss&#3=
9;).<br>
