[blml] Difference in wording between law 24 and law 49 andconsequences

[Hans van Staveren]

Sven says:

Law 24 applies "during the auction" (1997) or "prior to the play period"
(2007)

Law 49 applies thereafter (during the play period).

Me:

Well thank you, that never occurred to me. (This is sarcasm, sorry)

The question of course is what effect the different wording should have on
the director.
In this case partner could not have seen the card if he remained in his
sitting position, and did not see it. Moving his body around he could have
seen it.

Again, if the laws are worded different there is probably an intention that
director should rule more strict in the 49 case than the 24 case, but is
that really meant to be?
