+=+ I think that the reference to achievement of equity 
relates to the inaccuracy in the 1997 Law Book as published 
in England. The correct version of Law 12C3, promulgated 
by the WBF, may be found in the ACBL publication. It 
reads :
       "....... vary an assigned adjusted score in order to do 
equity."         
                         The drafting committee for 1997 did not 
commit the error of supposing that any assigned adjusted
score necessarily "achieves" equity. It allowed that the 
target is "equity" but that the achievement may be nothing 
more than a closer approximation to equity.  The word 
'do' was to reflect the effort to target a closer equity, not 
with any assurance or expectation that an absolute equity 
would be achieved.
