Judges panel prior to the start of the next round. In the case of a protest
concerning the final round, the protest must be submitted immediately after the
end of the round. In any case, no protest can be accepted after the medals have

The decision of the Arbitration Jury is Final and must be abided by.
If the protest is sustained the fee will be returned. If the protest is
overruled, the fee will be retained by the organiser.
Protests may be made on any safety rule in the normal way.
