11.6Verdict and Subsequent Action

Committee Decision – All committee decisions must cite the rule(s) on which their decision is based. Committee decisions will be reviewed by the Match Director and Range Master and may be returned to the committee, if necessary, with an explanation of why the decision does not comply with the rules. If the Range Master returns a decision to the Committee, the Committee's next decision must be based on the rules and must be accepted. When a final decision is reached by the Committee, the Match Director will summon the appellant and the official(s) to present its judgment.

Implement Decision – It will be the responsibility of the Range Master to implement the Committee’s decision. The Range Master will advise the appropriate match personnel who will post the decision in a place available to all competitors. The decision is not retroactive and will not affect any incidents prior to the decision.

Decision is Final – The decision of the Committee is final and may not be appealed unless, in the opinion of the Range Master, new evidence received after the decision warrants reconsideration.

Minutes – Decisions of the Arbitration Committee will be recorded and will provide precedent for any similar and subsequent incident during that match.
