Competition Protest Procedure

It is the right of certified and advanced certified coaches to file a protest if they believe there has been a misinterpretation or misapplication of the rules.

  1. Review the Certified Coach List to check the person is a certified coach in the sport and also attended/reviewed the coach’s meeting.
  2.  Protest Procedure Infographic – Coaches and Competition Managers should review this flowchart before a protest is filed to see if it is a valid protest.
  3. Coaches use this link to submit a Competition Protest Information such as specific rule or procedure is needed to complete this form. Coaches should notify the competition manager of their intention to file this protest so you are aware and can contact SONC sport staff.
  4. Contact your SONC Sport Staff Liaison and Games Rules Committee to speak immediately about the protest and review the merits.
  5. Protest Submissions – review the protest with your SONC Sport Staff Liaison and Sport Rules Committee Members.

Volunteer Information

Online volunteer registration is now open. View the available Summer Games volunteer job descriptions – send any suggested edits to volunteers@sonc.net. You can also review general volunteer materials online. View the Summer Games volunteer flyer here.

You are a Class A Volunteer!

All GMT members are considered Class A Volunteers which means we need you to fill out the Volunteer Screening Form.  If you have not already filled out this form, please do so in order to complete the required criminal background check. You only have to do this form one time so if you did it a long time ago, you’re still all good!

We also ask that you take 15 minutes to complete Protective Behaviors training. This is a free online training on how to recognize abusive behaviors and ensure the safety of the athletes. This has to be done every three years and is required of all Class A volunteers. Please note that the format and web page to access this training has changed, and you will now need to create an account through the SO Learn Portal.

Also available through the SO Learn Portal is Concussion in Sports. We highly recommend all GMT members to take this free online concussion training to help ensure the safety of everyone during our event. While it does take about 45 minutes to complete, it is really great information. There should be no need to send a certificate as SONC now receives notification as soon as a training is completed.

The state of North Carolina requires a certain number of people to have training in crowd management at large events such as our Opening Ceremony and Victory Dance/Olympic Town.  This training also needs to be completed every three years and requires about 30 minutes.  We specifically ask security managers and the Opening Ceremony and Victory Dance/Olympic Town GMT to complete this training and send Julianna a copy of the certificate but it is a great training for any of our GMT.
