rogerclee Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 You may change cards "in the same breath" without pause for thought. Basically this means you are allowed to correct yourself if it's obvious you literally just called the wrong card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackshoe Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 That dummy picked up the 5 is irrelevant. However, there was a pause for thought, so clearly the answer to the question ("Is this permitted?") is "no". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejak Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 You may change cards "in the same breath" without pause for thought. Basically this means you are allowed to correct yourself if it's obvious you literally just called the wrong card.You may change unintended designations if you do so without pause for thought and so on. This one is clearly a change of mind so would not be allowed even if in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
