Dan-cat you're spot-on. The rule would be the same if the opponent was someone other than Shaun Murphy.

Now Let's suppose that Player A break's off. Player B discover's he has left his cue case keys in the dressing room. How does the Referee deal with the scenario?

How can player B avoid being docked a frame?

DAN-CAT the solution isn't as drastic as you suggest.

If he's quick thinking he may put up a desperate show and ask the referee to go for a comfort break!

Get his cue case key.

Come back to the arena adjusting his trouser's zip with a vacant grin on his face; and, continue as if he'd the key in his possession all the time!

Ha! I dunno if that would work, as the player should be ready to start play at the allotted time i.e. made sure he'd been to the loo. But.. I guess he could claim he had a bladder infection or something I s'pose and that it had come on urgently....
