PRIMETIME SPORTS IS COMMITTED TO FOSTERING AN ENVIRONMENT OF RESPECT, SPORTSMANSHIP, AND ADHERENCE TO TOURNAMENT RULES. TO STREAMLINE AND ENHANCE OUR AGE VERIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR THE CURRENT SEASON AND MOVING FORWARD, PRIMETIME SPORTS HAS ESTABLISHED THE FOLLOWING POLICY ON PROTEST SUBMISSIONS. THIS POLICY OUTLINES OUR APPROACH TO MANAGING AGE VERIFICATION PROTESTS EFFECTIVELY AND EQUITABLY FOR ALL PARTICIPATING CLUBS.

 

LIMIT ON CHALLENGES

DURING THE CURRENT SEASON, EACH CLUB IS PERMITTED TO SUBMIT UP TO FIVE (5) AGE VERIFICATION CHALLENGES AT NO COST. CONSIDERING THAT IN THE PAST, FEWER THAN 10% OF PROTESTS HAVE BEEN UPHELD, THIS LIMIT ENSURES THAT CLUBS USE THEIR CHALLENGES JUDICIOUSLY WHILE MAINTAINING FAIRNESS ACROSS OUR EVENTS. EACH INDIVIDUAL PLAYER VERIFICATION IS CONSIDERED ONE CHALLENGE.

 

FEE FOR ADDITIONAL PROTESTS
AFTER A CLUB HAS USED ITS FIVE ALLOTTED FREE PROTESTS, ANY SUBSEQUENT PROTEST WILL INCUR A $50 PROCESSING FEE (TO BE PAID BY E-TRANSFER TO PAYMENTS@PRIMETIMESPORTSCO.COM ALONG WITH YOUR PROTEST FORM).

 

REFUND FOR UPHELD PROTESTS
IF A PAID PROTEST IS UPHELD, THE $50 PROTEST FEE WILL BE REFUNDED (VIA E-TRANSFER) TO THE CLUB. HOWEVER, IF THE PROTEST IS DENIED, THE FEE WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

 

SUBMISSION PROCESS
ALL AGE VERIFICATION PROTESTS MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING BY COMPLETING THE PROTEST FORM AVAILABLE AT THE GATE TABLE OF EACH FACILITY (FORM ALSO ATTACHED BELOW). PROTEST FORMS CAN ONLY BE SUBMITTED BY THE PARTICIPATING TEAM COACH OR CLUB DIRECTOR PRIOR TO THE START OF THE GAME OR WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF THE CONCLUSION OF A GAME. OUR TEAM WILL THOROUGHLY REVIEW AND INVESTIGATE EACH CASE AND MAKE AN IMPARTIAL DECISION BASED ON THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED.

​

WE BELIEVE THIS STRUCTURE BALANCES THE NEED FOR ACCOUNTABILITY WITH OUR AIM TO MINIMIZE UNNECESSARY DELAYS, HELPING TO MAINTAIN THE POSITIVE EXPERIENCE THAT PRIMETIME SPORTS STRIVES TO DELIVER. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING AS WE IMPLEMENT THIS POLICY TO ENSURE A FAIR AND ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL PLAYERS, COACHES, AND FANS.

​

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION REGARDING THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO REACH OUT TO DANIEL DEPELTEAU AT DANIEL@PRIMETIMESPORTCO.COM. THANK YOU FOR BEING A VALUED PART OF THE PRIMETIME SPORTS COMMUNITY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO A COMPETITIVE AND FAIR SEASON AHEAD!
