Law 17 - Duration Of The Auction
| Section E. End of Auction Period | |
| The auction period ends when all four players pass or when after three passes in rotation have followed any call the opening lead is faced (when a pass out of rotation has been accepted, see Law 34).* | |
| New Footnote to Law 17E | Service providers are encouraged to develop software
permitting re-opening of the auction until the opening
lead has been faced. When the software elected by the
sponsoring organisation does not permit re-opening of
the auction, the auction period ends after three passes
in rotation have followed any call.
