Any failure to abide by the rules, policies and regulations of the competition may result in the participant being denied entry to, or asked to leave, the competition, and forfeiture of awards.
Participants agree to follow any rules of behaviour as specified by the venue in which the competition is held.
Unethical and unsocial behaviour such as cheating, or aggression towards team members, other teams, judges, competition staff or sponsors will not be tolerated. Participants behaving improperly may be asked to leave the competition by Judges, Exercise Leads, Competition Coordinator or Committee Chair.
