A Reveley ruling is where you've decided someone has cheated and adjusted 
the score. You weight the score and include, in part the original auction 
and score. It's a Reveley ruling because you've included part of the weight 
of a score which you deemed illegal. the solution is to find a different 
auction to the same spot and now it's ok, of course.
