What results in a Permanent Disqualification?

A Permanent Disqualification occurs when a participant has been disqualified on three separate occasions by three different judges. This policy is in place to maintain the integrity and fairness of competitions. It emphasizes the importance of adhering to rules and regulations, as repeated disqualifications indicate a pattern of non-compliance, which can undermine the competitive spirit and safety of the event.

Other choices, while they may involve disqualification or penalties, do not lead to a permanent status. For example, receiving a qualifying score is an indication of compliance and achievement rather than a disqualifying factor. Participating in an event after age limits or without a leash may result in immediate disqualification for that particular event, but these actions do not accumulate in a way that would lead to a permanent disqualification from future events.
