How is a disqualification different from an elimination in rabbit show standards?

A disqualification in rabbit show standards is a definitive judgment that results in a participant being completely barred from competition due to a serious offense or fault in the rabbit or handling. This means that the issue is considered significant enough that it cannot be remedied, and the rabbit cannot compete further in the show.

In contrast, an elimination occurs when a minor issue is identified, which could potentially be addressed or corrected. This allows the participant the opportunity to make adjustments or improvements and possibly continue in the competition, thereby making an elimination a flexible situation.

The distinction here is critical: disqualifications involve serious breaches of the standards that ensure the integrity of the competition, while eliminations refer to less severe lapses that can often be rectified. This understanding is vital for show participants to grasp the gravity of the faults associated with each outcome.
