The head judge's job is to enforce the rules, and he/she shall have the final say in all matters pertaining to the enforcement and interpretation of the rules. The Head Judge must ensure that the chopping blocks and sawing positions are fairly drawn and that each competitor is issued the correct block. The Head Judge must ensure that any competitor guilty of rule violations or poor sportsmanship is disqualified or appropriately penalized.  9The Head Judge must ensure that NO PERSON, other than the !participating competitor, wedger and timers shall enter, or be within,: the competition arena during the actual running of any event. The Head Judge must ensure that any competitor in violation of the slab rule (under the discretion of the individual show) or any competitor cutting through "footholds" is disqualified, and also that any competitor who jumps the gun is disqualified.

C ontestants should +wear long pants, not shorts, when competing!. These pants should be a solid M color such as black or white (not denim colored blue jeans or sweat pants). Black pants have become traditional in the US6, while competitors in Australia and New Zealand are re quired to wear solid white pants. All competitors sh)ould also be required to wear a shirt or @@`singlet when competing.  It should be noted that, as sponsorship of the competitors increases, it is becoming increasingly problematic for contest organizers to requiJre the wearing of specific, contest provided shirts. The USAA now recommeMnds that the wearing of contest provided shirts be optional for each competitor.

This< is done by drilling a hole through the axe head and handle,- and placing a small "spring-pin" in the hole.
