2 -  PROTESTS AND REQUEST FOR REDRESS BY BOATS

The Vska prescribes:
The Protest Committee Chairman is bound to advise the Comitatee must see the protest from the skippers in email comitato@vskalive.com with video race - minute for that problem -  descrition protest with name boat in that incident.

In the race is possible:
A competitor may hail for protest by writing "P" or "Protest" in the race chat as soon as possible after the incident.
The competitor who is protested on should as soon as reasonably possible reply with:
"Y" or "Yes" if he/she agree that he/she has broken a rule. A penalty should be added to his/her tally.
"N" or "No" if he/she disagree that he/she has broken a rule.

A penalty should not be added to his/her tally, but the competitor who protested is entitled to file a post race protest to the comitato@vskalive.com jury. No reply is to be concidered as "No".
A penalty assigned by the VSK umpire is to be concidered correct unless there is a request to cancel the penalty from the competitor who got the penalty.

If a competitor who got a VSK penalty claims that it should not have been given any penalty in this situation, he/she should request a penalty cancellation. The request is the regular VSK feature, either by clicking on the penalty icon or pressing the
key assigned for the feature.
The VSK cancel feature does not work if the penalty removed a penalty from the opponent instead of adding one to the competitors tally, so in such a case a competitor has to write "C" or "Cancel" in the race chat instead.

If a competitor who got a VSK penalty claims that the penalty should have been given to the other competitor, he/she should request a penalty cancellation followed by a protest call ("P"/"Protest") .A competitor who receives a request to cancel a penalty should always cancel the penalty, regardless of whether he agrees or disagrees with the call. A penalty that is requested cancelled by writing "C" should also be concidered cancelled by default.

A competitor who disagrees with a penalty cancellation, should write "P" or "Protest" right after the penalty has been cancelled.
Penalties given by VSK and penalties accepted volunteerly (with a "Y"/"Yes" ) or cancelled by "C", should be summarized.
If possible, the VSK pen tally should be manipulated in order to allow the VSK tally to represent the correct tally.

If a competitor on the water is protesting, and the accused competitor does not agree with the protest, then the competitor may file an official protest to the Comitato@vskalive.com
But first make a serious effort of solving the case without involving the jury. If the competitor still wants to file a protest, make sure the formalities are right:
Take a screenshot right after the response "No" (or lack of response) from the opponent. .
Both competitors should as soon as possible send their replays, screenshots and descriptions of the case to Comitato@vskalive.com with a copy to the other competitor.
Remember to point out in the mail exactly at what time in the replay the situation occurred, and also what race in the series the protest is regarding.

3 REGOLE - RULES

1) All skippers in round 1 are required to sail under the spirit of fair play and to do their best to learn and follow the ISAF rules. This means that you try to find a common understanding of the rules if you disagree on the water.
2) Don’t quit while racing for no particular reason. Quitting will be taken as a forfeit and the remaining skipper will win by default.
3) If a skipper is disconnected from the game due to connection problems, please relaunch another race and/or enter the chat Vska to communicate with the other skipper. We suggest you
relaunch another race if it was not clear that one boat was in front of the other.
4) Use of the spinnaker before starting is not allowed.

5)The races will not be sailed on a specific date, as the LOUIS VUITTON VSKA has a completely flexible schedule within its extents.
A competitor must write in forum the other competitor(s) as soon as he knows who he will meet.The race committee will decide any unfinished races. The competitor who has put in the most efforts of sailing the race will be declared as winner.

6)Winner of the race reports the result of the match (phopto ranking final or chat with "WD YOU WIN") on comitato@vskalive.com as soon as possible.
7)If both competitors in round robin 1 cannot host, and they can't find another solution (ex: find a host that will setup the race and stay as spectator or talk in chat for find hoste free)

8) If a VSK penalty is cancelled, and this penalty is found correct with regards to the ISAF rules, then the boat that got the pen cancelled lost the race, regardless of what happened later in the race.
9) The comitatee join in races and decide for questions live
