LAW 84 - RULINGS AN AGREED FACTS

When the Director is called to rule on a point of law or regulation, and the facts are agreed, he rules as follows:
  1. No Rectification
    If no rectification is prescribed by law, and there is no occasion for him to exercise his discretionary powers, he directs the players to proceed with the auction or play.
  2. Law Provides Rectification
    If the case is clearly covered by a Law that prescribes the rectification for the irregularity, he determines that rectification and ensures that it is implemented.
  3. Player's Option
    If a Law gives a player a choice of rectification the Director explains the options and sees that the choice is made and implemented.
  4. Director's Option
    The Director rules any doubtful point in favor of the non-offending side. He seeks to restore equity. If in his judgment it is probable that a non-offending side has been damaged by an irregularity for which these laws provide no rectification he adjusts the score (see Law 12).
