renege penalty scoring ( 23:29:03 WedAug 20 2003 )
Country: USA


renege penalty scoring
My year old duplicate group and my foursome of many years are at odds over where to score the renege(revoke) penalty. Some say only above the line---some say with the game score, counting toward the contract.
I think this error penalty is applied toward the game, otherwise there would be a great incentive at times to renege.
Can you please clarify this problem?
Thanks!

Re: renege penalty scoring ( 01:38:48 ThuAug 21 2003 )
There is a Law in the Rubber Bridge Law book especially for this, Law 77. It says:

A trick transferred through a revoke penalty is reckoned for all scoring purposes as though it had been won in play by the side to which it had been awarded.


So if you are in 3, you make eight tricks, but your opponent has revoked, and two tricks are transferred, then you score 90 below the line and 30 above the line.
