LAW 23 - COMPARABLE CALL

A. Definition

A call that replaces a withdrawn call is a comparable call if it:

1. has the same or similar meaning as that attributable to the withdrawn
call, or

2. defines a subset of the possible meanings attributable to the withdrawn
call, or

3. has the same purpose (e.g. an asking bid or a relay) as that
attributable to the withdrawn call.

B. No Rectification

When a call is cancelled (as per Law 29B) and the offender chooses at his
proper turn to replace the irregularity with a comparable call, then both
the auction and play continue without further rectification. Law 16C2 does
not apply, but see C following.

C. Non-Offending Side Damaged

If following the substitution of a comparable call [see Laws 27B1(b),
30B1(b)(ii), 31A2(a) and 32A2(a)] the Director judges at the end of the
play that without the assistance gained through the infraction the outcome
of the board could well have been different, and in consequence the
non-offending side is damaged, he shall award an adjusted score [see Law
12C1(b)].
