1. Protests can only be made concerning rule interpretations and player eligibility, NOT judgment calls.
2. Protests must be made on the field of play at the time of the incident before the next live ball situation. The team should first notify the head official, and then the supervisor. The protest should be written down completely on the score sheet with all the details concerning the time of the game, score, players involved, etc. The rest of the game should be played. The team should turn a protest form at the time of the incident to the Intramural Supervisor completely explaining the situation. Protests not following this procedure will not be considered.
3. The Assistant Director will review and rule on the protest. If the team losing the protest disagrees with the Assistant Director's decision they may appeal formally by submitting written notification within 24 hours of notification. The protest will then go before a committee of five people composed of faculty/staff and students who will make the final decision.
4. If a protest is upheld, the contest will be replayed from the point at which the protest occurred, as determined by the score sheet. Date and time will be set by the Intramural Sports Program, or as determined by the Intramural Protest Appeals Board.
5. The Intramural Sports Program does not assume the responsibility for checking on the eligibility of participants. However, any cases called or verbal to the Program’s attention by written protest will be dealt with according to eligibility rules.
6. The Assistant Director shall have the authority to establish special rulings whenever deemed necessary. Sometimes exceptional situations do occur. The option to appeal a protest is still in effect.
