2. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS

9.3. The complaints will be reviewed, if there will be three (3) or more complaints given by three (3) or more different Participants about the same judge. By looking through the videos of the performances of the Participants, it will be determined if the complaints are valid.
