				admission charged for each class of ticket and exchanges and the gross receipts
				of all tickets. If printed tickets are otherwise scanned or are electronically
				processed, a printed record reflecting all of the information required by this
				subsection shall be provided to the Division.
e) Before the start of a contest, an
				inspector must check that all contestants, promoters, managers, matchmakers,

				corner.
j) Inspectors shall not
				show any partiality to any contestant at any time. There shall be no discussion
				of any kind among inspectors with regard to the decision or contest. The
