Major Penalty Card
- To prematurely or deliberately face or otherwise expose an honor card to
opponents (except by declarer). If more than one card is exposed, each
exposed honor becomes a major penalty card according to the Laws. See
Law
50 :
|
1. |
The offender must play the
exposed card at the first legal opportunity: |
|
Declarer may accept the
lead of another suit |
|
Declarer may mandate lead
of the exposed card |
|
2. |
The lead of the offender's
partner is controlled by the declarer; if player leads prematurely, the
card also becomes a major penalty card. As long as offender's
partner is on lead, the declarer may: |
|
Require a suit lead of the
exposed card (only once) |
|
Prohibit the suit lead of
the exposed card (as long as offender's partner is on lead) |
|
Allow offender's partner to
lead anything (continuing to maintain all rights associated with #2 as
long as offender's partner remains on lead) |
|
3. |
If the offender
inadvertently exposed 2+ penalty cards: |
|
Declarer may designate
which penalty card shall be played, but only for the first trick (other
exposed cards are returned to the offender's hand) |
|
Declarer may forbid the
suit lead the any exposed card as long as defenders are on lead (all
exposed cards in the forbid suit are returned to offender's hand) |
