“ARRANGER’S CODE OF ETHICS - Always remember, good sportsmanship involves honest rivalry, courtesy, consideration for others, diplomacy and grace to accept the decisions, whatever they may be.  Often we learn more from our mistakes than our successes.  Good sportsmanship is an admirable and essential quality which allows us to enjoy competition.  Entries in a show are to be only those which complied with the rules set forth and are the work of the exhibitor.”
