The review board shall consist of the Assistant Director of Intramural Sports, Student Coordinator of Club Sports, Sport Coordinator of the activity under protest (if applicable), Student Coordinator of Intramural Sports Officials and the supervisor who was onduty for the protested contest. If any of the aforementioned individuals are unavailable, administration reserves the right to appoint any Rec Sports staff member deemed appropriate to render a fair and impartial decision.

Once the review board renders a decision, the decision shall be final. If a protest is overturned, the contest shall resume at the point where the protest was made and any previous results will be discarded.

Administration reserves the right to refuse a protest in the event poor sportsmanship is exhibited. Teams and individuals are expected to act professionally during and after times of protests. Administration reserves the right to forgo all established general and activity-specific rules and/or policies in the event a protesting team and/or individual acts in an unsporting manner.
