When an offending player's call is withdrawn, and he chooses a different
final call for that turn, then if he becomes a defender:
- A. Call Related to Specific Suit
- If the withdrawn call related to a specified suit or suits, and,
- 1. Suit Specified
- If that suit was specified by the same player, there is no lead penalty,
but see Law 16C.
- 2. Suit Not Specified
- If that suit was not specified in the legal auction by the same player,
then declarer may (penalty) either require the offender's partner to lead
the specified suit (or one particular specified suit) at his first turn
to lead, including the opening lead; or prohibit offender's partner from
leading the specified suit (or one particular specified suit) at his first
turn to lead, including the opening lead, such prohibition to continue
for as long as offender's partner retains the lead.
- B. Other Withdrawn Calls
- For other withdrawn calls, (penalty) declarer may prohibit offender's
partner from leading any one suit
at his first turn to lead, including the opening lead, such prohibition
to continue for as long as offender's partner retains the lead.
A call repeated with a much different meaning
shall be deemed a different call.
Declarer
specifies the suit when offender's partner first has the lead.
