Question: A POOR after any player has bid: A pass out of rotation at offender’s LHO’s turn to call may be accepted by offender's LHO if not accepted . . . what? As I read it (below) the original call stands but there was no original call!

LAW 30: PASS OUT OF ROTATION
Law 30 B3. After any player has bid a pass out of rotation at offender’s LHO’s turn
to call is treated as a change of call. Law 25 applies.

Law 25 B. Call Intended
1. A substituted call not permitted by A may be accepted by the offender’s LHO. (It is accepted if LHO calls intentionally over it.) The first call is then withdrawn, the second call stands and the auction continues.
2. Except as in 1 a substitution not permitted by A is cancelled. The original call stands and the auction continues.
3. Law 16D applies to a call withdrawn or cancelled.

If it is LHO's turn to call, then either we have just called, in which case the Laws treat our POOR as an attempt to change our prior call, or LHO is dealer and we are covered by 30A.

Pathological case:
North is Dealer, East opens 1S out of rotation, not accepted. West now passes out of rotation at North's turn to call. East's opening 1S is "canceled" but Secretary Bird might choose to argue that canceling it does not alter the fact that it was bid, so now we have the situation envisaged above where West passes at North's turn after a player has bid, but West has no prior call. I would still treat this as a Law 30A situation for want of anything better.
