Whenever there are rules and regulations there needs to be a process to enforce the rules. If you feel someone in your class is not playing by the rules and a gentlemanly discussion proves unfruitful, your next step is to file a protest.
An informal discussion with the Event Chair and the concerned parties may resolve the possible protest.

02 - Protests can only be made by the Protest Committee or by entrants from within their own class.
03 - Protests must be made prior to the expiration of the 30-minute inspection period and must be made in writing. A protest fee of $30.00 cash must accompany the protest.
