To preserve the integrity of the Military Cup and the National Championship, the ADA reserves the right to disqualify any military member and/or team:
- Whose Military Registration appears to have been altered or contains irregularities that might give that player and/or team an unfair advantage; or
- Where fraudulent circumstances of any nature are found to exist; or
- Whose sportsmanship and/or conduct is deemed by the ADA to potentially bring discredit upon the Military Cup Challenge, the National Championship or the sport.
NOTE: Disqualification will mean forfeiture of all titles, awards and prize money, as well as possible suspension.
