Pre-Sales Scoping

I've noticed in several videos I have watched recently on Yearling Sales that scoping can be part of the pre-sales vetting process.
So, as a Vendor you have a well bred Yearling entered in the Sale & interest from up to, say, 6 buying groups.
Serious buyers tend to want the horse scoped. Could your Yearling be scoped 6 times?
Are there rules regarding the number of scoping's a horse can have prior to a Sale?

Yes it happens often. The most popular can sometimes have scopes in the double digits. People have started putting video scopes in the repository, but a lot of big buyers still want their own vet to scope the horse. Once the number of scopes starts getting to ridiculous numbers, the consignor usually says enough.

Thank you
I would imagine the horses get somewhat fed up with the repetitive tubing's.
Given the sums involved, I can see someone prepared to layout 1.5 million guineas for a Yearling insisting on one.
