If the offending Adjudicator is a Primary Adjudicator, their affiliated Theatre Company will provide a substitute Primary Adjudicator from their trained pool of Backup Adjudicators. If the Theatre Company cannot provide another Primary Adjudicator (eg. no remaining affiliated adjudicators are available) the NHTA will do their best to find adjudicators to cover the Theatre Companies remaining number of required adjudications.

The following year the offending Adjudicator may not return as a Primary Adjudicator for any theatre company, but may be a Backup Adjudicator.
