This form must be submitted in a timely manner. A timely manner is defined as within one hour of the end of the round in which the infraction occurred.

Role*

All protests must be filed by an authorized adult from a school attending the National Tournament. School advisors may appoint one or more adult representatives who are permitted to file protests in case the advisor is absent or incapable of filing a protest due to a tournament-related commitment. Authorized adult representatives must be approved by the school’s administration and explicitly appointed prior to the tournament. A judge may only file a protest if they are an authorized representative. However, an advisor and/or authorized representative may file a protest on behalf of their students and/or judges who witnessed an alleged violation.
