As specified in art.1, the Organization can also modify the present Regulation as well as the Rules
and Regulations of each competition at any time and at its incontestable discretion.
In case of unfair behaviours, the Organization will intervene throwing the participants responsible
for violent/offensive behaviour out of the game to the detriment of the team score.
Violent or unsporting behaviour towards other competitors or judges shall be punished by
disqualification of the responsible competitor.
However, any choice is up to the organization that, together with judges, can make a decision about
the possible disqualification of a competitor and the relegation of the team as for that competition.
Possible violent or unsporting behavior of the team representative can imply the disqualification of
the whole team and, as a consequence, the relegation of the team in the final results.
Therefore, considering the amateur and party aspect of the competition, we ask for collaboration
and spirit of the game among participants.
