PART III
IRREGULAR LEADS AND PLAYS
SECTION TWO
OTHER IRREGULAR LEADS AND PLAYS
LAW 58
- SIMULTANEOUS LEADS OR PLAYS 
- A. Simultaneous Plays by Two Players
- A lead or play made simultaneously with another player's legal lead
or play is deemed to be subsequent to it.
- B. Simultaneous Cards from One Hand
- If a player leads or plays two or more cards simultaneously:
- 1. One Card Visible
- If only one card is visible, that card is played; all other cards are
picked up without penalty.
- 2. More Cards Visible
- If more than one card is visible, the player designates the card he
proposes to play; when he is a defender, each other card exposed becomes
a penalty card (see Law 50).
- 3. After Visible Card Withdrawn
- After a player withdraws a visible card, an opponent who subsequently
played to that card may withdraw his play and substitute another without
penalty (see Law 16C).
- 4. Error Not Discovered
- If the simultaneous play remains undiscovered until both sides have
played to the next trick, Law 67 applies.
