PART 2 - Ordinary Singles Play - C. Miscellaneous Laws of Play

27. PLAYING WHEN NOT ENTITLED TO DO SO

(a) If a player plays a stroke when not entitled to play and the error is not condoned, that stroke and any subsequent strokes are invalid, no points may be scored for any ball thereby, the balls are replaced in their lawful positions before the first stroke in error and the turn ends. (See Law 38(h)(1) for handicap play).

(b) The error is condoned if it is not discovered before the first stroke of the adversary's next turn. In that event, the first stroke in error and any subsequent strokes are deemed to be valid and the balls are not replaced but the only points scored are points scored in order by peeling an adversary's ball. (See Law 38(h)(1) for handicap play).
