Why is this grounds for disqualification?

I think this should be a portion of the competition, not grounds for disqualification. It's a tragedy, really.

Miss England Relinquishes Crown After Bar Fight
Friday, November 06, 2009


Print LONDON — The reigning Miss England has relinquished her crown after being accused of a fight in a bar.

Pageant organizers say Rachel Christie has also withdrawn from next month's Miss World competition in South Africa.

They said in a statement that the 21-year-old heptathlete will now focus on clearing her name and training for the 2012 Olympics.

British newspapers reported that Christie got into a dustup with another beauty queen — Miss Manchester Sara Beverley Jones — in a nightclub earlier this week.

Greater Manchester Police said Friday that a 21-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault after an altercation at the city's Mansion nightclub on Monday. She was released on bail pending further enquiries.

I like rough women, they know how to handle a man properly.

Yeah! hahaha!

I think the runner up who's taken her place might be a bit rough too, Nick. Any rate, she's a Lance Corporal (don't know what branch of service) and served in Iraq...

On second thought, she dosn't look all that rough: http://www.missengland.info/regionals
