The Judge's decision shall be final. When an exhibitor or exhibitor's parent, leader or agent is guilty of un-sportsmanship-like conduct, the show management may suspend the exhibitor's right to participate in future classes and / or shows for such period as judged appropriate. Adults involved will be asked to leave the Show and may be asked not to return for future shows. Appeals to the Judge's decision must be in writing and filed with the Show Chairman immediately upon conclusion of the class or event in question. A fee of $50.00 (certified funds) must accompany the protest. If the Appeals Committee upholds the protest, the deposit shall be refunded. If the appeal is overruled, the deposit will be forfeited.
