The failure of a protesting party to appear at a scheduled hearing shall be deemed a default and a waiver of all rights except the right to be served with a copy of the order of the Board. Upon a showing of good cause, the Board may grant a request for hearing reinstatement if such request is filed within ten (10) days after the scheduled hearing. In such cases, the hearing may be rescheduled. If the hearing is not reinstated, the protesting party in default may be charged with the costs of the hearing in the amount of five hundred ($500) dollars.
