When Worlds starts Saturday in Aarhus, Denmark, nations can appeal (difficulty score only) to video review. The first protest costs US$300, the second $500 & the third $1,000.
If a team wins the appeal, it gets the money back. If not, it goes to the charitable foundation of the federation (FIG).
Hopefully video review will not be used often. Certainly it could slow down the already too lengthy competition.
Former MTC chairman Hardy Fink from Canada feels that video appeal is necessary. It’s been used in Canada for years and not been abused. I agree.
Not everyone agrees. Many are taking a wait-and-see approach.
