guidelines concerning minimum and maximum time limits. Mark penalties
for any failure to follow the maximum or minimum playing time for each
class will be imposed as follows:
The amount of any Playing Time Mark Penalty shall be:
- Less than one minute under the minimum
playing time or less than one minute over the maximum playing time
- no mark penalty.
- More than one minute under the minimum
playing time or more than one minute over the maximum playing shall
have a 1 point penalty for each minute or part thereof.
Example: The candidate has a playing
time of 22:30 minutes in a category with a 20 minute maximum playing
time limit.
- 20.01 minutes to 21:00 minutes - no
penalty
- 21:01 minutes to 22:00 minutes is 1
point penalty
- 22:01 minutes to 23:00 minutes is 1
point penalty
Therefore this candidate would have a
2 point penalty deducted.
