A PILOT PROJECT FOR THE 2025-2026 SEASON

The intent of the Advancement Appeal process is to give coaches a mechanism to challenge advancement scores that may not reflect the athlete’s performance. The process is designed to be confidential to protect the competitor, coach, and judge using a fair and independent review mechanism that ensures the timely distribution of a decision.

The appeal process has a fee attached ($50) and is time-critical (appeals must be submitted within 48 hours of the end of the competition, including payment of all fees).

For full details of the process, please refer to the attached document.
