Konrad Ciborowski:

>Makes perfect sense to me but it is written
>where exactly in the laws?

2007 Law 86A:

When the Director chooses to award an artificial
adjusted score of average plus or average minus
in IMP play, that score is plus 3 IMPs or minus
3 IMPs respectively. **Subject to approval by
the Regulating Authority, this may be varied by
the Tournament Organizer.**

Konrad Cibororowski:

>It looks that this one of those "we all know
>how to do it" laws. Much like scoring a passed-
>out hand in the previous version of the laws.

2007 Law 77:

[snip]

If all four players pass (see Law 22) each side
enters a zero score.

2007 Index, explanatory note for novice TDs:

Note: A "Zero score" is _not_ identical to an
"Average score".

Richard Hills:

By the way, the 2007 addition to Law 77 was
inspired by David Stevenson, who mentioned on
blml some years ago that there was not any
explicit mention of the scoring of a passed-in
deal in the 1997 Lawbook.

It seems to me that this lacuna was caused by
the Rubber Laws scoretable being borrowed by
the Duplicate Laws as the basis for Law 77, and
of course passed-in deals are not scored at
rubber bridge.
