CHAPTER VI
The Play 
PART V
CLAIMS AND CONCESSIONS
LAW 71
- CONCESSION CANCELLED 
A concession must stand, once made, except that within the correction
period established in accordance with Law 79C,
the Director shall cancel a concession:
- A. Trick Cannot be Lost
- If a player has conceded a trick his side had, in fact, won, or a trick
his side could not have lost by any legal play of the remaining cards.
- B. Contract Already Fulfilled or Defeated
- If declarer has conceded defeat of a contract he had already fulfilled,
or a defender has conceded fulfillment of a contract his side had already
defeated.
- C. Implausible Concession
- If a player has conceded a trick that cannot be lost by normal
play of the remaining cards. Until the conceding side makes a call on a
subsequent board, or until the round ends, the Director shall cancel the
concession of a trick that could not have been lost by any normal
play of the remaining cards.
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.
