The decision of the judge or Kormeister is final. Unprofessional, unsportsmanslike conduct, disrespect in any way or badgering
of the judge, the participants or spectators will result in exclusion of the remainder of the show and the show grounds.
No refunds will be granted and all awards will be forfeited. We hope we’ve made ourselves perfectly clear!
