If a protest is regarding a misinterpretation of the rules, the team captain must inform the scorekeeper and referee at the moment of occurrence, so the score, time, and witnesses can be noted on the score sheet. The team captain must then file a written protest in the Intramural Office 24 to 48 hours after the contest.
