A. |
Immediate
Correction of Inadvertency |
|
Until his partner makes a call, a player may
substitute his intended call for an inadvertent call but only if he does so, or
attempts to do so, without pause for thought. If legal, his last call stands
without penalty; if illegal, it is subject to the applicable Law. |
|
|
B. |
Delayed or Purposeful
Correction |
|
Until LHO calls, a call may be substituted when Section A
does not apply: |
|
|
|
1. |
Substitute Call Condoned |
|
|
The substituted call may be accepted (treated as legal) at the
option of offenders LHO (6); then, the
second call stands and the auction proceeds without penalty. If offenders
LHO has called before attention is drawn to the infraction and the
Director determines that LHO intended his call to apply over the offenders
original call at that turn, offenders substituted call stands
without penalty, and LHO may withdraw his call without penalty (but
see Law 16C2). |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Not Condoned |
|
|
If the substituted call is not accepted, it is cancelled,
and |
|
|
|
|
|
(a) |
First Call Illegal |
|
|
|
if the first call was illegal, the offender is subject to the
applicable law (and the lead penalties of Law 26 may
apply to the second call). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
First Call Legal |
|
|
|
if the first call was legal, the offender must either |
|
|
|
(1) |
Let First Call Stand |
|
|
|
|
allow his first call to stand, in which case (penalty) his
partner must pass when next it is his turn to call (see Law
23 when the pass damages the non-offending side), or, |
|
|
|
(2) |
Substitute Another Call |
|
|
|
|
make any other legal call, in which case (penalty) the auction
proceeds normally (but offenders partner may not base calls
on information from withdrawn calls); the offending side (7) may receive no score greater than average minus (see Law
12C1). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) |
Lead Penalties |
|
|
|
In either case (b) (1) or (b) (2) above, the offenders
partner will be subject to a lead penalty (see Law 26)
if he becomes a defender. |
|
|
|
|
(6) When the original bid was insufficient, apply
Law 27
(7) The non-offending side receives the score achieved
at the table |
