Given the chance, an inspector will go out of their way to make sure you compete. We will give you guidance, find you help and assist in design if needed. If you refuse or don't show up, then yes, you might not compete. If you meet us halfway we will get you running. If you leave the pits early, come in after opening ceremonies, or sit in the stands and want someone else to work, then you will have to live with the consequences. I will do everything I can to give your students a quality experience. Sometimes you don't even have to ask.
