But I think due to the wording of the paragraph, the "when" applies to the creation of an obligation:
When a player is audited -> An obligation to destroy cards is created. Because the auditing entity must destroy cards by announcement the text suggests that this destruction is a separate and distinct action from the action of auditing that can occur at a separate time. After reading it again, I see how it could be interpreted differently (and the way you suggest is probably the intent of the rule), however when I read the rule and coded it into my site I noticed the former interpretation.
