If the player had called the TD and the TD had allowed play to continue "standing by to award an adjusted score", and deems that he _should_ award an adjusted score, do you think it can ever be an assigned score and not an artificial one? And, if it is an assigned score, is it legal to split the score, treating both sides as non-offending, in a non-12C1(e) jurisdiction (the latter point being the interesting one).
I believe it to be normal for it to be an assigned score. Why should it be normally bean artificial one?
Of course it is legal to split the score: if you hear something from another table, both sides are non-offending, and a split score would be the norm.

I don't know why he didn't call the TD immediately. I suspect it didn't occur to him that he should. As to what he was thinking, again I don't know. I suspect he was thinking about all those inferences I mentioned.
How can you award an ArtAS after the bidding has already started?
It can be a similar situation to those where the EBU believes assigning is impossible in practice, so rules under Law 12C1D. The actual hand is a good example. The number of possibilities when assigning after the first four calls seems endless. However, it is possible I was thinking of a previous Law book.
