IV. Cannot be divided--_i.e._ a player cannot add the value of one or
two tricks to his own score and deduct the value of one or two from the
revoking player.
V. In whatever way the penalty may be enforced, under no circumstances
can the suit revoking score Game, Grand Slam or Little Slam, that hand.
Whatever their previous score may be, the side revoking cannot attain a
higher score towards the game than twenty-eight.
91. A revoke is established, if the trick in which it occurs be turned and
quitted--_i.e._ the hand removed from that trick after it has been turned
face downwards on the table--or if either the revoking player or his
partner, whether in his right turn or otherwise, lead or play to the
following trick.
92. A player may ask his partner whether he has not a card of the suit
which he has renounced; should the question be asked before the trick is
turned and quitted, subsequent turning and quitting does not establish the
revoke, and the error may be corrected, unless the question be answered in
the negative, or unless the revoking player or his partner have led or
played to the following trick.
[NOTE.--A negative answer to the question does not _in itself_
establish the revoke, apart from turning and quitting the trick, or
some subsequent act of play.--ED.]
{244}
93. At the end of the hand, the claimants of a revoke may search all the
tricks.
94. If a player discover his mistake in time to save a revoke, any player
or players who have played after him may withdraw their cards and
substitute others, and their cards withdrawn are not liable to be called.
If the player in fault be one of the dealer's adversaries, the dealer may
call the card thus played in error, or may require him to play his highest
or lowest card to that trick in which he has renounced.
95. If the player in fault be the dealer, the eldest hand may require him
to play the highest or lowest card of the suit in which he has renounced,
provided both of the dealer's adversaries have played to the current trick;
but this penalty cannot be exacted from the dealer when he is fourth in
hand, nor can it be enforced at all from Dummy.
96. If a revoke be claimed, and the accused player or his partner mix the
cards before they have been sufficiently examined by the adversaries, the
revoke is established. The mixing of the cards only renders the proof of a
revoke difficult, but does not prevent the claim, and possible
establishment, of the penalty.
97. A revoke cannot be claimed after the cards have been cut for the
following deal.
98. If a revoke occur, be claimed and proved, bets on the odd trick, or on
amount of score, must be decided by the actual state of the score after the
penalty is paid.
99. Should the players on both sides subject themselves to the penalty of
one or more revokes, neither can win the game by that hand; each is
punished at the discretion of his adversary. {245}
