How does a protest work at the national championships?

• Tell the umpires you are lodging a protest before the next pitch, play or attempted play. No protest may be made on a judgment call.
• A $100 cash deposit must accompany the protest. It is reimbursed if your team wins.
• The umpires suspend play and tell the opposing manager and their umpire supervisor.
• A three-person Protest Committee, chaired by the Baseball Canada Technical Officer, hears the game umpires first, then the protesting head coach, then (if necessary) the opposing head coach.
• The committee's decision is final, with no appeal, and no further argument is entertained.
