Appeals are important to both the athlete and the integrity of the games. If you as an athlete feel you are not being treated fairly you can appeal. Rule 15 of the B.A. Rules states:-
Rule 15
15.1 Athletes may question a Handicapper verbally about their mark in relation to a previous mark given by that Handicapper. If query is related to marks allocated by another Handicapper or following a verbal discussion as above then a complaint form must be completed, signed, and passed to the Handicapper concerned.
15.2 The handicapper concerned must complete the complaint form and return to the Athlete within two weeks. If the athlete is unhappy with the response of the handicapper they may pass the complaint form on to the B.A. Secretary along with a fee of £20.
15.3 The B.A. will appoint an Appeals Panel to discuss information provided and make a ruling. Both parties must abide by the findings. The £20 fee may be refunded at the Appeals Panel discretion. No third party may be involved in these procedures
The complaint form can be obtained at each meeting or downloaded HERE.
