Rules protests may only be submitted by adults on site at the tournament. The only adults who can submit a rules protest are a) the school’s NSDA advisor on file, or b) an adult representative who is permitted to file protests on behalf of the school. The adult representative must be approved by the school administration and explicitly appointed prior to the tournament.
If one of the eligible adults wishes to file a rules protest, they must file that protest within one hour of the end of the round in which the infraction occurred.
To file a rules protest, the eligible adult should report to the tournament office to receive the protest form. After the form is filed, the tournament office will contact the eligible adult about next steps.
