This person will solely have absolute power over any dispute brought to them by the committee.

1.       All members are to display good sportsmanship and co-operate with your fellow competitors and officials at all times, No Verbal or physical abuse will be tolerated at any time at an LSCV event towards a committee member, official, competitor or spectator and will be dealt with accordingly by the appointed clerk of course who’s ruling will be final and the appropriate penalty he or she seems fitting cannot be challenged.
