If anyone is caught cheating, they will be disqualified from the show and be subject to inspection at next event.SoundWarz decisions on this will be final.

If at any point a bikes audio becomes interrupted it is an AUTOMATIC disqualification for that round.(I.E.,text,phone call or loss of signal or text from your baby’s Momma).

If you experience technical difficulties and cannot begin within 90 sec. you will be moved to the end of the round. Hopefully this will give you the time needed to correct your
