• The VSA will follow Covid-19 protocols mandated by local guidelines and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations at the time of the event
• The VSA may implement further guidelines to protect the health of all participants
• The VSA may revoke any participant, including competitors, judges, attendees, volunteers, exhibitors, sponsors, and the general public's right to participate due to non-compliance of safety protocols
