D. A player sits at an incorrect table and plays the wrong opponent.It is a player's responsibility to make sure that they are in the right place at the right time during a tournament, and both of these players have made the error of sitting at the wrong table. It's unfortunate that this was not noticed earlier, but since we are nearing the end of the round there is no remedy that will allow them to play a full match with their correct opponent without holding up the tournament. That is why we will follow the additional remedy given in the IPG.
A player not in his or her seat 10 minutes into the round will receive a Match Loss and be dropped from the tournament unless he or she reports to the Head Judge or Scorekeeper before the end of the round.There is some temptation here to use the match results as they were played, but we don't have any good reason to change the pairings as they were assigned so this is not a real option.
