KCBS Board of Directors Defines Family Membership, Amends Sanctioning Fee Policy


After thoughtful deliberation, at the most recent Board meeting, KCBS adopted a formal definition of “family” as it applies to family memberships. The Board will implement the new policy beginning April 1, 2023. An individual with any of the following relationships to the primary KCBS member may be considered family: spouse/significant other/domestic partner; dependents under 24 years of age living in the home.

An additional noteworthy policy revision was approved by the Board. Effective April 1, 2024, KCBS will no longer roll over contest sanctioning fees from past events that were postponed.
