ENTERING EJECTION REPORTS – POINTS TO REMEMBER
When do we enter ejections reports?
When a coach, contestant, or team personnel is asked to leave the contest because of their actions, as guided by the applicable rule book.
Who should file the ejection report?
The ejecting official should ALWAYS submit the ejection report. If they are unable, a senior official on the crew or a crew member designated by the Crew Chief should submit the report.
Who should NOT file the ejection report?
The only people who should be filing the report are the contest officials. NO ONE else should enter the report.
