COMPETITION PROTEST PROCEDURE & RULES
Upon completion of his/her venue (leg) of the Race, the racer has fifteen (15) minutes to notify the designated race official at the exchange area of his/her intent to protest and to request an official protest form. A protest may only be made by and against racers in the same venue (leg).

The official protest form will require information regarding the incident including witnesses for verification by the Mountains to Sound Executive Committee. The protester will be required to fill out the official form and turn it in to the Mountains to Sound Protest Committee with a $20.00 fee at the finish area (Golden Gardens Park) within thirty (30) minutes after the completion of the Race by their team.

A quorum of the Mountains to Sound Executive Committee will be responsible for the final decision regarding any protest, including any notification by race officials or race monitors who have documented violations of race participants and those not specified in the race guide. Upon completion of the review, the $20.00 will be forfeited to the Mountains to Sound Relay Race if the protest is denied or refunded if it is upheld. The Protest Committee's decision is final and any unsportsmanlike conduct by any race team or their affiliates will disqualify that team from the race.

RACER CONDUCT
The Mountains to Sound Race Committee would like to thank each racer for their participation in the 2006 Mountains to Sound Relay.It would not be possible without the hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement officers that make the relay race experience happen. These volunteers go out of their way to provide you with the finest and safest racing environment possible. PLEASE REMEMBER: ANY TEAM MEMBER THAT EXHIBITS UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT OR FAILS TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF ANY RACE VOLUNTEER OR OFFICIAL IS SUBJECT TO DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE RACE. WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT YOU TREAT ALL OF THE VOLUNTEERS WITH THE RESPECT AND APPRECIATION THEIR EFFORTS DESERVE.
