Protest Committee

A Protest Committee is a group of knowledgeable officials responsible for resolving disputes or complaints that arise during a sports event, such as sailing or racing. When participants believe a rule has been broken or an incident has occurred unfairly, they can file a protest. The committee reviews the evidence, hears statements from involved parties, and makes a fair decision based on the rules. Their role ensures the competition remains just and orderly, maintaining the integrity of the event.
