Comments on rule questions, new interpretations, problems, unpopular Rule 62 (Redress) decisions, summary of the facts, conclusions and decisions of Rule 69 (Allegations of Gross Misconduct) actions, problems with Sailing Instructions or Notice of Race and experience with experimental procedures.
We used a new system for penalties in 4 stages:
Appendix C: Protest and Arbitration
1. Notices of protests by the race committee or protest committee will be posted to inform kiteboards under rule 61.1(b).
2. On the last scheduled day of racing of a qualifying series, a request for reopening a hearing shall be delivered
(a) within the protest time limit if the requesting party was informed of the decision on the previous day;
(b) no later than 15 minutes after the requesting party was informed of the decision on that day.
This changes rule 66.
3. On the last scheduled day of racing a request for redress from a protest committee decision shall be delivered no later than 45 minutes after the decision was posted. This changes rule 62.2.
4. Taking a penalty after finishing
Add new rule A4.3: "A board that may have broken a rule of Part 2 or F3.31 while racing may take a scoring penalty after she has finished and prior to the start of Arbitration. Her penalty shall be a Scoring Penalty of 20% calculated as described in rule 44.3(c). The scoring abbreviation for a penalty imposed under these SI?s will be SCP. However, if she caused tangle, injury or serious damage or if she gained a significant advantage in the race or series by her breach, her penalty shall be to retire. A ?Scoring penalty acknowledgement Form? shall be signed before the end of protest time at the race office. This changes rule: F4 Part 4 Rules deleted.
5. Arbitration System
Kiteboards will be offered Arbitration, but only if, before the hearing,
- both the protestor and the protestee, agree to accept the decision of the arbitration
- the incident does not include a request for redress
- the incident does not involve tangle, injury or serious damage, or
- a competitor did not gain a significant advantage in the race or series by her
breach.
This changes rule 63.1.
(a) The arbitration will be heard by one or more members (the arbitration judge) of the protest committee. He will listen to the evidence of the protestor and protestee only and will announce his decision as to which kiteboard (if any) broke a rule or refer the protest to the full protest committee. This changes rule 63.6.
(b) The decision is binding on all parties to the protest.
(c) If the arbitration judge penalizes a kiteboard, the penalty will be a point?s penalty equal to 40 % calculated as described in rule 44.3(c). The scoring abbreviation for a penalty imposed under these SIs will be ARB. This changes rule A4.2. ." This changes F4 Part 4 Rules deleted.
