Some sets of duplicate boards have stickers next to the pockets, identifying the
dealer and vulnerability. The absence of a sticker indicates that the player is
not the dealer and is not vulnerable. On one such board 4, the sticker for West
as Dealer-VUL is missing, so there is no dealer marked. The second time the
board is played (so a redeal or replacement board is not possible), South opens
out of turn. Do you enforce a penalty for an opening bid out of turn?
L2 doesn't help here; it says that the board must be played as marked, which
would imply that it must be played with no dealer, and with East vulnerable but
West not vulnerable.
