Ottawa B League

Discipline & Appeals

PROTESTS

 

Excerpt from Rules & Regulations:

 

APPEALS: (see Annex 1 for prescribed procedures) The appellant must submit all game protests or appeals to the League within 72 hours after the completion of the game that is in dispute. All appeals must be in writing, submitted to the Director of D&A, of the “B” League (Chairperson of the Appeal Committee). A fee in the form of a cheque payable to the OBMHL in the amount of $150.00** dollars must accompany the appeal letter. All letters of appeal must clearly state the grounds upon which the appeal is being made and what aspect of the game, in particular is being appealed.* At its discretion, the league will determine whether or not the appeal will be heard by the league. Appeals of a frivolous or trivial nature will not be heard. The league will not hear “timing” protests unless the protesting team had a representative in the penalty box for the duration of the game (Rule 6f). League timekeepers*** are representatives of the League, not the association/club.

All letters of appeal must clearly state the grounds upon which the appeal is being made and/or the particular aspect of the game that is in question.

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

 

As participants in the B League we may encounter situations which we believe call for immediate attention. It is important that participants follow the chain of command and report incidents to the appropriate individuals within their competitive club/association so they can be handled appropriately.

The B League ONLY accepts inicident reports filed by Association Representatives on behalf of the team officials, to find out your club rep, click here.

A B League Official will facilitate the incident report submission to the opposing club/association. Typically three (3) weeks is provided to the club to investigate and provide resolution to the B League Official.

We thank everyone for their ongoing co-operation.
