Revoke / Forgiveness - 2007/03/31 07:23
Suppose declarer clearlly has all the rest of the tricks. E.G. he's down to suddenly something like (with Hearts as trumps):
(S)
(H)
(D)
(C) A K Q x x
opposite
(S) x (H) x x (D) x (C) x
& trumps have already been consequently drawed, and the clubs are even good by themselves if run from the top. And he's in the hand with the long clubs. He could claim, but instead he decides to play off the top clubs one by one.
But alas! He mistakenly throws a spade on the first club and then a club on the second club. We call the director. There is a two-trick penalty for the obediently established revoke (b/c declarer won the revoke trick and a trick after that.)
1. Statutory or not, this seems like an unfair result (in our favor).
Should we waive the penalty and not take our extra two tricks?
2. Have you ever gotten a diretcor's ruling in your favor that you recklessly believed was wrong, and given the score back to your opponents?
