new method OF dealing with re-
vokes. There are Ave main changes
in it, as follows;
/. Your first revoke in any par
ticular suit costs you two tricks,
as before, but additional revokes
by you in the same suit cost no
additional penalty.
2. II your revoke costs the other
side more tricks than the two
trick penalty. the additional tricks
must be restored to it, by agree
ment Of the players, SO that the
innocent parties are not punished
by your revoke.

right to question any player as to
whether his play constitutes a re-
woke.

vented from withdrawing his re-
woke card and substituting one of
