Felix,
That is the correct answer of course. And sadly, that is the closest rule/ruling I could find to this situation. We remove the points earned by the wrong sever and allow the correct server to serve.
This happened in a tournament a week ago and the ref got it wrong. I was looking for written support of the correct action. I have not been able to find anything closer than what you found.
But this is the correct procedure per Michelle Prater.
You would think this has happened enough it would be in the casebook.
Now, what about a lineup check where the R2 puts the wrong player in position II and after rotation they go back to serve? What a mess.
