It's not even noteworthy when 8 revokes occur at my table in a session, nor is it particularly unusual to see four revokes in the course of a board.

Yeah, but unlike my grandfather (a formerly great bridge player who still wins most events I play with him) he's not half blind and suffering from dementia. Causes him to revoke at least once a session with me.

Well, with caveats as to "the plural of anecdote...":

I had my one revoke at my table last night. Immediately noticed, automatically corrected, dealt with on the next round of the suit she thought was going to be played, no problem.

Now, if you're talking *established* revokes...

Yes, I would be interested in knowing whether anyone sees more than 2 or three of those a year...

I had two last week in the game I ran, and average about 4 a month. (But perhaps my club is just strange. Two weeks ago, I had 2 tables out of 18 have the same lead out of turn on the same board--North-South won the first two tricks and North tried to lead the spade 9, but it was partner's lead.)

I average close to about 1 every club game I run. At tournaments, usually only about 2 or 3 for the whole tournament.
