lmilne Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm sure this has been answered before, but... The auction is over, EW are playing spades, and West has bid spades first. South asks whose lead it is and both East and West agree that it is South's (when it is actually North's). South leads and North points out that perhaps they shouldn't have. Should this simply be treated as a lead out of turn or are there other considerations? If it is simply a lead out of turn, doesn't this open the door to gamesmanship?

aguahombre Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 As a Player, if our side had told the wrong person it was his/her lead, I would excercise Option Two. Accept the lead and lay down "dummy". I wonder if I could get a Law 23 adverse ruling if our erroneous answer right-sided the contract. Yes, your OP has been discussed before. But Ed will probably have a better response to your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pran Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 A lead out of turn (or play of a card) may be retracted without further rectification if the player was mistakenly informed by an opponent that it was his turn to lead or play. A lead or play may not be accepted by his LHO in these circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
