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.
