How do I protest a call or a meet decision?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under Article 102.22: Judgment calls by the starter or by stroke, turn, place and relay take-off judges can be considered only by the Referee, and the Referee's decision is final. Eligibility protests before a race go to the Referee in writing. If they aren't resolved, the swimmer competes under protest, and this is announced before the race. All other competition protests go to the Referee in writing within 30 minutes after the race in question. The Referee may appoint a jury of 3 to 5 people, including at least one coach and one athlete. Appeals: protests about how the technical rules (Parts One and Seven) are interpreted go in writing to the Rules & Regulations Committee Chair within 10 days. That ruling is final. Other appeals go to the National Board of Review. While a protest is pending, the results of that race aren't announced, and its awards and points are held.
