DUMMY’S RIGHTS [LAWS 42 & 43]
DUMMY is NOT allowed to:
- Ask a Defender about a possible revoke.
- Look at an opponent’s System Card during the play of a hand.
- Draw attention, before the hand is over, to any irregularity, once it has been committed.
- Point out how many tricks have been won or lost.
- Suggest the Director be called before another player draws attention to an irregularity.
- Take any part in the play of the hand except to play the cards as Declarer tells him.
- Look at Declarer’s cards or his curtain card.
- Look (at his own initiative) at any card in a Defender’s hand.
- Ask any questions or make any comments on the hand.
- Leave his seat to watch Declarer’s play.
DUMMY IS allowed to:
- Keep track of tricks won or lost for his own information.
- Warn one of the other players he has put a quitted card in the wrong direction, but only until the next trick is started.
- Try to prevent Declarer from committing an irregularity. For example: saying, ‘Are you not in Dummy?’ when he is about to take a card from his hand. BUT it would be too late to warn him once he has played the card.
- Try to prevent Declarer from establishing a revoke, for example, saying ‘Having no clubs?’
- Try to prevent an irregularity on the part of a DEFENDER.
- Call the Director if one of the other three players draws attention to an irregularity.
- Give information as to fact or law when the Director is present BUT not to ask questions even if the Director is present.
- Draw attention to an irregularity once the hand is completed.
