A SEPARATE SUBMISSION MUST BE MADE FOR EACH PROTEST.
Please be aware of the following regulations, and where necessary, make your teams aware of them too.
1.3 Grading Appeals and Re-Grading
- Following the publication of the draft grading document, clubs may protest a grading given to teams up to 48 hours following the publication of the document.
- Once the final grading has been endorsed by the Board, no further appeal will be considered.
- Immediately following Round 3 of competitions, where possible, clubs may apply for a review of their team grading based on performance.
- Applications shall be made to the Operations Manager, in writing (Prescribed Form 23 – Grading Protest) stating reasons for the request. An application may be approved if there is a vacancy, or a mutual re-grade in the division requested and the request does not create the complete re-programming of either division affected by the request (see also Grading of Teams).
- The Competition Manager is responsible for reviewing all age groups and divisions throughout the season and may recommend to the Board a re-grade of a team, irrespective of whether or not an application has been made by a club.
