Auction Period Starts |
| |
The auction period on a deal begins for
a side when either partner looks at the face of his cards |
|
|

The First Call |
|
The player designated by the board as dealer
makes the first call. |
|
|
| C. |
Successive Calls |
|
The player to dealer’s
left makes the second call, and thereafter each player calls in turn
in a clockwise rotation. |
|
|
| D. |
Cards from Wrong Board |
|
If a player who
has inadvertently picked up the cards from a wrong board makes a call,
that call is cancelled. If offender’s LHO has called over the
cancelled call, the Director shall assign artificial adjusted scores
(see Law 90 for penalty) when offender’s
substituted call differs in any significant way from his cancelled
call (3). If offender subsequently repeats the
cancelled call on the board from which he mistakenly drew his cards,
the Director may allow that board to be played normally, but the Director
shall assign artificial adjusted scores (see Law
90) when offender’s call differs in any way from his original
cancelled call. |

all four players pass or when after three passes in rotation have
followed any call the opening lead is faced (when a pass out of rotation
has been accepted, see Law 34). |
