6.2 Audience behaviour
During Rock Master, particularly during competitions and related events held at the Climbing Stadium, Climbing Village, or additional venues, participants must comply with all organisational and safety instructions issued by the Organiser or its partners.
Attendees must not engage in conduct or wear clothing that violates public decency, good taste, or applicable laws, or that infringes upon the rights of others.
Homophobic, racist or politically inflammatory behaviour (including any form of support for parties involved in ongoing conflicts) is strictly prohibited. Offenders will be immediately removed from the venue.
Spectators must remain in designated areas throughout competitions and events taking place within the Climbing Stadium, Climbing Village, or additional venues.
It is strictly forbidden to obstruct athlete movement or interfere with the competition in any way.
Anyone who, during a competition, places rocks, nails, or other obstacles on the competition route, uses false signage, or engages in any other form of interference or disruption with the aim of affecting the outcome, shall be considered to have committed a violent act, even if the attempt fails or no harm occurs.
Tampering with the competition area or signage poses a serious threat to athlete safety and will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
6.3 Athlete and competitor behaviour
Without prejudice to the rules of the relevant federations regarding the FASI Chronos Clash, all Rock Master sporting events are also subject to the specific regulations issued by the Organiser for each competition, and – where explicitly stated – to the rules issued by the Italian Federation of Sport Climbing (FASI).
Athletes and competitors are required to behave respectfully and fairly, avoiding any actions that may harm others or infringe upon their rights.
Participation in competitions is unconditional and unpaid, unless otherwise agreed individually with the Organiser.
Unless stated otherwise in individual agreements, all travel, accommodation and related costs are the sole responsibility of the participants.
In the event of cancellation of the Event or individual competitions, participants are not entitled to any form of reimbursement or compensation.
In relation to cases involving sporting misconduct, fraud, or violent behaviour endangering the safety of other competitors or individuals (even if only attempted), the principle of strict liability applies. As such, any conduct deemed directly or indirectly attributable to a registered participant may result in sanctions, even if committed by third parties associated with that individual.
Without prejudice to the federations’ own regulations (in particular FASI rules regarding the FASI Chronos Clash), if an athlete or competitor is disqualified, the next-ranked athlete shall assume their position and corresponding rights.
This process may continue consecutively at the Organiser’s discretion, depending on the timing and format of the event in question.
