9. Possible changes in registration shall be handled as follows after registration:
   • A change of song is not possible. Should such a change be desired with the slots full, the solo or group participant will be wait-listed. To do this, it will be necessary to register again, facilitating the data required.
   • It will be possible to change the number of members in a group as long as a group of two or more do not become a soloist. In such a case, the person not withdrawing will be put at the end of soloist waiting list if all the slots in the category are filled.

Member changes may only be allowed up to two days before the contest (Wednesday the 24th, inclusive of the date), barring a case of emergency or force majeure.

• Withdrawal from registration means that:
• The group or soloist withdrawing before the contest will not be able to register again in their position, but will be put at the end of the waiting list if the slots are filled.
• Should a group or soloist withdraw and afterward want to participate again, they will be placed at the end of the waiting list.
• Should a group withdraw, the next group on the waiting list will be chosen to participate. This option shall only be possible up to two days before the contest; i.e.: If a group withdraws on Wednesday or Thursday, with the contest being held on Friday, NO other group will be chosen. 
  Thus, at the latest, notice shall be sent on Wednesday, July 24, to the next group on the waiting list that was chosen to participate. This same rule shall apply to the soloists’ category.
• Should a group/soloist not perform on the day of the contest without prior notice, they shall be penalized and will not be able to participate in the next contest.
