An amateur shall be defined as a person for whom the principal means of livelihood is not obtained from the performance or teaching of music in the particular category in which he or she is competing. This stipulation does not, however, preclude such a person from performing if they have occasionally received remuneration for musical services rendered, even in the area in which he or she is competing.

Where a specified edition of a performance piece is indicated in the Syllabus the performer is expected to perform the music as specified and provide a legal copy of the music (not a photocopy) for the adjudicator.
