WBL Game Protest
Umpire judgment calls cannot and will not be protested
If there is a misapplication of a rule by an umpire there is an option for a protest. During the game the head coach will need to inform the umpire that he/she would like to protest the game. The scorekeeper and the umpire should track the time and point of the game in that the protest has been made. Play of the game will be resumed and the game will be completed as normal. The protest will need to be filed with the hosting league president within 12 hours of the end of the game and submitted with the below form. The protest will require the rule that was applied in error and why the coach believed it was applied incorrect. The league president should have a review process with his rules committee and provide a ruling on the protest within 7 days of the game. If the game has an impact on the end of season results the league president has the option to replay the game from the point of the protest and finish the game. If there is no impact on standings the game will not be replayed.
