F5-60.5
Protest Decisions
Rules 60.5(d)(1) and 60.5(d)(2) are changed to:
- (d) If the protest committee decides that a kiteboard has deviations in excess of acceptable manufacturing tolerances:
- (1) The kiteboard shall not be penalized if any deviations in excess of tolerances specified were caused by damage or normal wear and they did not improve the performance of the kiteboard.
- (2) However, the kiteboard shall not race again until any such deviations have been corrected unless the protest committee decides there is, or has been, no reasonable opportunity to do so.
Add new rule 60.5(e):
- (e) If the protest committee decides that a kiteboard has broken a rule and is not exonerated and, as a result, caused a tangle for the second or subsequent time during the event, her penalty shall be a disqualification that is not excludable.
