APPEALS	An Appeal can only be filed by a coach or competitor. Spectators are not allowed to participate in the appeal process. A difficulty inquiry can be made at the judge's table using the appropriate form. (See Rules & Policies for inquiry form.) The written appeal, with the appropriate appeal fee must be submitted to the Meet Referee prior to the start of the next round. The next round is the actual competition, not the warm-up or the next flight. In the case of an appeal concerning the final pass, the appeal must be submitted immediately after the end of the round. In any case, no appeals will be accepted after the medals have been awarded. Appeals concerning the execution of scores can only be made with respect to numerical error. Appeals must be dealt with by the jury of Appeal prior to the start of the next round and their decision must be announced immediately. Video - The organizing committee is required to have an official video for the Jury of Appeal to review. The Jury of Appeal may not watch the video individually. They must assemble in the designated location in order to view the video together. The video will be watched at real time and a straw poll will be taken, after which discussion may be held. If necessary the jury may re-watch the video and a straw poll will be taken after each viewing. Coaches are not allowed to speak to the Jury of Appeal. All information must be in writing on the appeal form. The decision of the Jury of Appeal is final.
ADMISSION	Adults - $10 Children ages 8 and under - Free
STAGING	Coaches and judges, as well as athletes, are required to enter and exit the competition floor through staging. Coaches and judges who are caught going through the wrong area and cutting across the floor are subject to having their credential removed. Yes, going all the way down the floor to staging is a pain, but to allow uncontrolled access to the competition floor is a safety hazard and is unprofessional. Coaches are cautioned to make sure that athletes obey this rule.
