10.5If the complaint is found to be justified and it is found true that a judge has subjectively given a higher score to a participant, who did not execute all the requirements listed in Clause 9 of these Regulations, the particular judge will not be allowed to judge in official street workout competitions organized by the Federation for two (2) years.
10.6If the complaint has led to detection of violation of these Regulations, the results of the competition will not be changed, but only the prohibition of refereeing will be imposed in respect of the particular judge. This will prevent the judges from false allegations.
