Under the Freestyle Canada 2025-2026 Canada Cup Guidelines:
- FIS events: coaches should know the protest rules in FIS ICR 3050. The Technical Delegate may have to explain them if an official protest is needed.
- Non-FIS Canada Cup events: if a coach brings a concern to a Jury member, the Jury may consider it without a written complaint and, if needed, decides the protest. Jury members share any issue under consideration with the Technical Delegate before confirming a decision.
- Video: the Jury may view video to resolve disputes or decide whether a rerun is needed. The degree of difficulty (DD) of a jump may be corrected, but judges' scores cannot be altered based on video review. A DD dispute must be presented to a Jury member before the official results are approved, and approved by the Head Judge.
- Judges' questions: in moguls, the Head Judge and at least one turns judge and one air judge stay available for at least 15 minutes after the awards presentation to answer coaches' questions. In park and pipe, the Head Judge and at least one judge from each panel (if the panel is split) do the same.
- Behaviour: Freestyle Canada's Code of Conduct and Discipline and Complaints policies apply to anyone, including athletes, coaches, officials and parents, who shows unacceptable behaviour in the context of the event. Depending on severity, disqualification and/or expulsion from the competition site may follow. The guidelines state zero tolerance for offensive language or behaviour.
- Results become official once signed off by the Technical Delegate and the Head Judge. Live scores are unofficial.
