Strange revoke

> Have you ever seen a revoke cost a trick?

[Sven Pran]
Yes.

And frankly I don't understand why you didn't give North the one trick
rectification that was due.

(Unless of course, if this was an event where "anything goes").

Cole Porter:

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was viewed as something very shocking
But now, God knows
Anything goes

Richard Hills:

In an "anything goes" Houserules Bridge (not Duplicate Bridge) session the
Director is never summoned - the players mutually agree their own
personally customised rulings.

But I agree with Sven that if the Director is summoned, then the Director
must strive to uphold the Laws to the best of her or his ability.

Best wishes,

Richard Hills
