The CD is a special case within the AMA and action can be taken against him without ejecting him from the AMA . From the Competition Rules:

"A CD is responsible to see that all safety rules
and precautions are followed to the letter. Any CD
who knowingly allows an unsafe condition to exist
is subject to the loss of his CD status.
Overall, the AMA Executive Council is responsible
to correct the deficiencies in the AMA Contest
Director program. The changes should be aimed at
protecting AMA against potential liability, while
maintaining and motivating AMA members to per-
form the volunteer service of Contest Director.
Where the position is abused, AMA needs to be
ready to act fairly, yet remove the CD designation,
if such be warranted."
