APPEALS

1. Only athletes can submit appeals to the administration.
2. Athlete can only appeal their own score and performance.
3. Appeals will only be accepted via the appeals form on this page.
4. It is not possible to appeal a no-rep call. A call made on the field stays on the field. Only issues of a technical nature can be appealed.
   
   Examples of issues that can be appealed:
   • Scorecard or leaderboard data inconsistency or error.
   • Counting inconsistencies or error (e.g., the total number of repetitions completed was incorrect).
   • Loading inconsistency or error.
   • Course markings or directional travel inconsistencies or error.
   • Equipment or monitor failure that was not the responsibility of the athlete.
   • Event movement or order miscommunication or action by judge.
   • Action of another athlete or person which impeded the athlete’s progress.

   Examples of issues that cannot be appealed:

   • Live judgment calls and “no reps” by the judge.
     
     
5. Each athlete can only submit an appeal two (2) times. This number does not include appeals that are approved.
6. When an appeal has been submitted, it is handled by a designated Appeals Officer (AO) that will initiate an investigation in the matter. This could include discussions with the Event Manager, Competition Manager, Head Judge or anyone else that could contribute with information. It could also include the request for evidence such as videos. When the investigation is concluded, a decision will be taken by the AO and the Competition Manager and communicated to the appealing athlete via email. The decision will also be published on the website. If a score needs to be adjusted, the AO will handle this with the scoring office.

Note. The Competition management has the exclusive right to adjust scores without an appeal being submitted if they find it necessary.
