SECTION FOUR
CALL OUT OF ROTATION
LAW 32
- DOUBLE OR REDOUBLE OUT OF ROTATION 
A double or redouble out of rotation may be accepted at the option of
the opponent next in rotation (see Law 29),
except that an inadmissible double or redouble may never be accepted (see
Law 35A if the opponent next in rotation
nevertheless does call). If the illegal call is not accepted, it is cancelled,
the lead penalties of Law 26B may apply,
and:
- A. Made at Offender's Partner's Turn to Call
- If a double or redouble out of rotation has been made when it was the
offender's partner's turn to call, (penalty) the offender's partner must
pass whenever it is his turn to call (see Law 23
when the pass damages the non-offending side).
- B. Made at RHO's Turn to Call
- If a double or redouble out of rotation has been made at offender's
RHO's turn to call, then:
- 1. RHO Passes
- If offender's RHO passes, offender must repeat his out-of-rotation
double or redouble and there is no penalty unless the double or redouble
is inadmissible, in which case Law 36
applies.
- 2. RHO Bids
- If offender's RHO bids, the offender may in turn make any legal call
and (penalty) offender's partner must pass whenever it is his turn to call
(see Law 23 when the pass damages the
non-offending side).
