Competition Invitations: the promoter or ANB representative at their sole discretion may refuse any person an invitation to compete, if in their opinion competing is detrimental to that person or the Federation, as in the case of an immature, unprepared, unaware, intoxicated individual or for any other reason, without prior notice. The promoter or Federation representative's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into on the day of the competition, however that person may appeal in writing within 30 days via written correspondence to the Federation Secretary, stating why they should be extended an invitation to the next competition. An appeals tribunal would then make a decision and confidentially inform the person of its absolute decision. This invitation clause does not supersede the anti-doping rules in place for the Federation, which always stand and cannot be appealed against.
