CHAPTER VI
The Play 
PART V
CLAIMS AND CONCESSIONS
LAW 69
- ACQUIESCENCE IN CLAIM OR CONCESSION 
- A. When Acquiescence Occurs
- Acquiescence occurs when a contestant assents to an opponent's claim
or concession, and raises no objection to it before his side makes a call
on a subsequent board, or before the round ends. The board is scored as
though the tricks claimed or conceded had been won or lost in play.
- B. Acquiescence in Claim Withdrawn
- Within the correction period established in accordance with Law 79C,
a contestant may withdraw acquiescence in an opponent's claim, but only
if he has acquiesced in the loss of a trick his side has actually won,
or in the loss of trick that could not, in the Director's judgement, be
lost by any normal
play of the remaining cards. The board is rescored with such trick awarded
to the acquiescing side.
For the purposes of Laws 69, 70, and 71,
"normal" includes play that would be careless or inferior for the class
of player involved, but not irrational.
