Each NBO is asked to recognise, mutatis mutandis, these suspensions in accordance with Article 18 of the WBF Statutes which states:
Each member and Zonal Conference must accept and respect all decisions taken by other members and/or Zonal Conferences in disciplinary matters. In particular, all members and Zonal Conferences shall apply and enforce sanctions of other members or Zonal Conferences or of the WBF (including for the avoidance of doubt suspensions or bans) within their geographical jurisdiction, provided that such sanction respects the principles set out in these Statutes and in any other WBF Regulations.
All sanctions must be reported to the WBF in a timely manner by the member and/or Zonal Conference imposing the same.
The WBF may, at its discretion, decide to apply a sanction rendered by a member or a Zonal Conference to the events under its jurisdiction and/or grant worldwide effect to it.
All decisions rendered by the WBF in application of this Article shall be final and binding on all members and Zonal Conferences.
