Mid-Hearing Panel Decisions

In Simple Terms

During a hearing, the judging panel doesn't have to make an immediate decision. They can ask for more information from teams or witnesses, or pause the hearing to gather additional evidence before deciding on any penalties.

• The panel can request additional information before ruling
• Proceedings can be postponed to hear from witnesses
• This allows for a more thorough investigation before final decision
• Teams have opportunity to present evidence and testimonies
