Withdrawal of Sanction of and Event

In the case of a non-compliance of the rules (including the agreed deviations and commitments), or any other causes that are considered harmful or not trustworthy, the Executive Committee of the Association reserves the right to withdraw the sanctioning of an event as follows:

· Prior to the event: If the withdrawal is declared up to the day before the scheduled day of the event, the Association will publish such news, the earliest possible, amongst the participating pipe bands and soloists.

· During or after the event: If the withdrawal is declared during or after the day of the event, the Association will also publish such news, the earliest possible, amongst the participating pipe bands and soloists.

In either case, the Executive Committee shall decide upon the following issues:

· If the Event Organiser will be considered for future sanctioned events applications.

· If the awarded points add towards the overall annual championship.
