IRREGULARITIES IN PROCEDURE

SECTION FIVE
INADMISSIBLE CALLS

LAW 38 - BID OF MORE THAN SEVEN 

No play or score at a contract of more than seven is ever permissible. A bid of more than seven is cancelled, and (penalty) each member of the offending side must pass whenever it becomes his turn to call (see Law 23 when the pass damages the non-offending side). The lead penalties of Law 26 may apply. (If offender's LHO calls, see Law 35C.)
