THE REVOKE
LAW 64
- PROCEDURE AFTER ESTABLISHMENT OF A REVOKE 
- A. Penalty Assessed
- When a revoke is established:
- 1. Offending Player Won Revoke Trick
- and the trick on which the revoke occurred was won by the offending
player, (penalty) after play ceases, the trick on which the revoke occurred,
plus one of any subsequent tricks won by the offending side, are transferred
to the non-offending side;
- 2. Offending Player Did Not Win Revoke Trick
- and the trick on which the revoke occurred was not won by the offending
player, then, if the offending side won that or any subsequent trick, (penalty)
after play ceases, one trick is transferred to the non-offending side;
also, if an additional trick was subsequently won by the offending player
with a card that he could legally have played to the revoke trick, one
such trick is transferred to the non-offending side.
- B. No Penalty Assessed
- The penalty for an established revoke does not apply:
- 1. Offending Side Fails to Win Revoke Trick or Subsequent Trick
- if the offending side did not win either the revoke trick or any subsequent
trick.
- 2. Second Revoke in Same Suit by Offender
- to a subsequent revoke in the same suit by the same player.
- 3. Revoke by Failure to Play a Faced Card
- if the revoke was made in failing to play any card faced on the table
or belonging to a hand faced on the table, including a card from dummy's
hand.
- 4. After Non-offending Side Calls to Next Deal
- if attention was first drawn to the revoke after a member of the non-offending
side has made a call on the subsequent deal.
- 5. After Round Has Ended
- if attention was first drawn to the revoke after the round has ended.
- 6. Revoke on Twelfth Trick
- to a revoke on the twelfth trick.
- C. Director Responsible for Equity
- When, after any established revoke, including those not subject to
penalty, the Director deems that the non-offending side is insufficiently
compensated by this Law for the damage caused, he shall assign an adjusted
score.
