However, the rule doesn't state MSA certified scrutineer, merely that the scrutineer has the qualifications for the task and is acting as the scrutineer appointed for the MSA event, rather than a scrutineer in some other capacity (eg: class scrutineer).
So a person with adequate experience, nominated by the organiser in the application for a National B event licence , and accepted by the MSA as meeting the qualifications for the event can be authorised to act as "their" official, the MSA's scrutineer, for the event.
I agree it is a nitpicky sort of point. As so often, one has to look at the documentation in the light of "how does this work?" rather than the light of "how is this wrong?". Often it is entirely in the interpretation of the words rather than the words themselves.
The only way I can see the two apparently mutually exclusive regulations being correct is for the difference to be between the assumed "licenced" and the implied "authorised"; when neither word appears. As I said, room for manoeuvre.
As someone else has pointed out, it is a bit academic, as the meeting in question did in fact have licenced and authorised scrutineers on hand.
