The following incident happened in our club recently. A board had been played. It was scored. Before starting the next board East asked North if she could see the hand he had just played because she thought there had been a revoke. North refused. Apparently the ruling is that there can be no rectification if attention was first drawn to the revoke after a member of the non-offending side has made a call on the subsequent deal (Law 64B4). They had not made that call therefore it could be rectified. Was North correct when he refused to show his hand? How should a Director deal with this problem?

He should read Law 66D and explain that opponents do have the right to see your hand to see if there has been a revoke.

Then the director should ask to see all the hands, and go through the play. If there was a revoke he should apply the penalties in Law 64.

The director should establish the sequence of play to determine whether there had indeed been a revoke. If so, it is still in time to rectify it. After the non-offending side has made a call on the next board or the round has ended, the NOs are entitled only to equity being restored.

Guess I shouldn't leave the reply window open to avoid redundant posts.
