At no time should the contest/event director feel the need to engage in a confrontation with any participant. If the situation cannot be reasoned out the decision must fall in favour of the event/contest director with the full backing of the executive. If this is not the case the contest/event director becomes nothing more than someone expected to shoulder the responsibility of fault were something to happen. If your executive is non supportive its a clear sign to avoid future commitments to act as contest/event director.
