Race
officials reserve the right to modify the race rules contained in
this document before, during and after the adventure race, if
deemed necessary. Race officials will be able to make subjective
judgments on the course during the race if the rules do not
explicitly state how a specific situation should be handled.
Explicit race rules may be disregarded by a race official if it is
deemed necessary for safety reasons. All decisions made by the
course officials will be final unless a dispute (see Disputes) is
filed by the effected team(s) following the race.

will not be allowed in the race. Corrective action may be taken by
the racer(s) in order to remedy the situation if possible.
Otherwise, the team will be disqualified from the race and forced
