Frequently used Laws of
Duplicate Bridge
5. Revoke (Law 61, 62, 63, 64)
An offender may correct his revoke at any time before he or
his Partner plays a card to the next trick.
- If the revoke was made by the defending side the revoke
card becomes a major penalty card.
- If the revoke was made by Declarer or by Dummy the
revoke may be corrected without penalty.
The revoke is established (and can no longer be corrected)
after the offender or his Partner has played a card to the
next trick.
Penalty for an established
revoke
- If the trick on which the revoke occurred was won by the
offending player (with the revoke card), at the end of play
that trick plus one trick of any subsequent trick won by the
offending side are transferred to the non-offending side.
- If the trick on which the revoke occurred was not won by
the offending player (with the revoke card), at the end of
play only one trick of any subsequent trick won by the
offending side is transferred to the non-offending side.
