Advancement Score Appeal Process

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).
