[blml] L79B Is "subsequent" needed?

[Robert Geller]

I'm trying to understand the meaning of "subsequent" in L79B
(see below).     It looks to me like this law makes perfect sense
if the word "subsequent" is deleted.  In that case 79A applies
in the vast majority of cases when there is agreement, and in
the small minority of cases where  there is disagreement the
director is called and he sorts things out.

If anyone out there, especially a member of the DSC, thinks that
the word "subsequent" is actually needed in L79B could they
please explain this.   Thanks. 


*******************************************************
LAW 79 - TRICKS WON
A. Agreement on Tricks Won
1. The number of tricks won shall be agreed upon before all four hands
have been returned to the board.
2. A player must not knowingly accept either the score for a trick that
his side did not win or the concession of a trick that his opponents
could not lose.
B. Disagreement on Tricks Won
If a subsequent disagreement arises, the Director must be called, then:
1. The Director determines whether there has been a claim or concession
and, if so, applies Law 69.
2. If 1 does not apply the Director rules what score is to be recorded.
If the Director is not called before the round ends he rules in
accordance with C below or Law 87, as applicable, but there shall be no
obligation to increase a side’s score.
