enquiry letter part 4

Dear Desmond,

Thank you for your enquiry and information on the teams with regards to Fun on Foot : The Heritage Marathon held on Saturday 19th July.

I gather from your email that you sent in two student teams. You also stated that you assisted both student teams in their answers before submission. It would imply that you had helped the two teams in their race as they would not have known what the questions were at each of the 24 sites until the team (and by assocation, yourself), had visited the sites physically.

Our Registration Form clearly states that teams under the 'Educational Catergory' can only consist of 'Full-time students of secondary schools, JCs, ITEs, Polytechnics and tertiary institutions.' This clearly rules out any assistance of any sort from adults, teachers or non-full time students.

By stating that you have physically checked the answer scripts of both teams, this constitutes a breach of the rules and regulations as stated. We have no choice but to disqualify both teams on grounds of flouting the rules and the composition of the team under the educational catergory.
This will make both teams liable to disqualification. We will therefore require you to surrender your prizes for MEZZ in this instance.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further clarifications and for information on how you can return the prize money.

Regards
