RULE REMINDER: this has become a problem and we will be enforcing this rule. You need to fill out an add form to be in a class that you have not already entered. You must scratch classes that you do not want to be in. Exhibitors who do not follow this rule will be charged an additional $10 per occurrence. This creates a lot of extra work for our show staff as well as delays results from being read.

No-Shows/Walk-On's: For any classes that you go into without entering, you will be charged an additional $10.00 per occurrence in addition to any other applicable class fees, even if you are on an all day fee. If you fail to show up for an entered class without completing a scratch slip 3 classes prior,, you will be charged a $10.00 penalty fee per occurrence, even if you are on an all day fee. Refunds will not be issued for any missed classes.
