12.3 Claims
When a TD has to decide a contested claim under Law 70, he is not assigning a score.
Thus none of this section applies: he may not give a split or weighted score, but must
rule an actual number of tricks, the same for both sides.
12.4 Standard adjustments for various methods of scoring
The table in #12.5 includes the equivalent to the 'standard' 10% of a top adjustment for
certain other methods of scoring.
Examples Average Minus (A–) would be Average less the "standard amount" shown.
Average Plus (A+) would be Average plus the "standard amount" shown.
A standard fine would be the “standard amount” shown.

12.6 Adjusted score in teams events if board not playable at second table
If team A gets a good or lucky board against team B and, because of an infraction by
team B, the board cannot be played at the second table, then the non-offenders are
entitled to an assigned adjusted score under Law 72B1 – see #72.1.
However, if team A gets a good or lucky board against team B and, because of an
outside influence or an unlucky event not caused by team B, the board cannot be
played at the second table, then team A get no benefit from their good or lucky result
since team B have committed no infraction. This is called "rub-of-the-green".
Examples
(a) At the first table team A bid and make an unlikely slam. When the board
reaches the second table the ace of hearts is face up in one of the hands
passed on by the defenders, team B. An assigned adjusted score may be
given to reflect team A’s good result.
(b)
At the first table team A bid and make an unlikely slam. When the board
reaches the second table a caddy exposes the ace of hearts while putting
the board on the table. No assigned adjusted score may be given to reflect
team A’s good result because team B have not caused the board not to be
played, and the board is cancelled.
