entries on these rounds.
DATE CHANGES- if an event is re-scheduled then it will remain in the championship unless

7) Eligibility
\\192.168.0.101\GoFlex Home Personal\WBCC\RR 2012\Welsh Border Championship 2012.docx
Vehicle Eligibility - WBCC has appointed a series scrutineer who will act as a "judge of fact"
as to the compliance of vehicles with respect to the class entered. Contenders are advised
that the scrutineer may inspect at any time the eligibility of any vehicle; it is therefore the
responsibility of the contender that any vehicle sealed, as a result of checks, must present
that vehicle with seals intact. Any contender found to have a vehicle that is non-compliant
will forfeit points gained to that time. All costs incurred are the responsibility of the
contender.
Class Eligibility – If any contender is unsure about the correct class to enter, they should
contact the Championship Co-ordinator before completing the registration form. Any
contender found to have entered the incorrect class will forfeit points gained to that time. All
costs incurred are the responsibility of the contender.
8) Results
The final championship positions will be issued to registered contenders within 21 days of
the final results from the last event being received. Contenders will then have a period
of 14 days in which to query their scores. After this period has elapsed the results will be
deemed final and no further dialogue entered into.
In order to alleviate any problems at this time any bulletins, issued during the championship
year with results tables, will be deemed true and correct after a period of 21 days has
lapsed.
All bulletins will be numbered - it is your responsibility to check and retain any issued.
