| A. |
Hand Found Deficient before Play Commences |
|
When three hands are correct and the
fourth is found to be deficient before the play period begins, the Director
makes a search for any missing card, and: |
|
|
|
1. |
Card Is
Found |
|
|
If a card is found, it is restored to
the deficient hand. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Card Cannot Be
Found |
|
|
If a card cannot be found, the
Director reconstructs the deal, as near to its original form as he can
determine, by substituting another pack. |
|
|
| B. |
Hand Found Deficient Afterwards |
|
When three hands are correct and the
fourth is found to be deficient after the play period begins, the Director
makes a search for any missing card, and: |
|
|
|
1. |
Card Is
Found |
|
|
(a) |
If a card is found
among the played cards, Law 67 applies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
If a card is found
elsewhere, it is restored to the deficient hand, and penalties may apply (see
3., following). |
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
Card Cannot Be
Found |
|
|
If a card cannot be found, the deal
is reconstructed as nearly as can be determined in its original form by
substituting another pack, and penalties may apply (see 3., following). |
|
3. |
Possible
Penalties |
|
|
A card restored to a hand under the
provisions of Section B of this Law is deemed to have belonged continuously to
the deficient hand. It may become a penalty card (Law
50), and failure to have played it may constitute a revoke. |
