Management
The Thoroughbred Makeover is an initiative of the RRP, a non-profit organization overseen by its Board of Directors. The RRP Managing Director serves as Organizer of the Thoroughbred Makeover.
Members of the the RRP Board of Directors, its staff, and contractors are eligible to participate in the Thoroughbred Makeover as Trainers. They may also serve as coaches, trainers, employees, or employers of participating Thoroughbred Makeover Trainers.
Members of the RRP Board of Directors, its staff, and contractors are not eligible, however, for the Ambassador Award or the Ira Schulman Rehoming Award.
Protests
Any competitor may file a written protest at the Show Office alleging violation of rules or unfair treatment (email secretary@tbmakeover.org is acceptable). Protests will be reviewed by the responsible parties and submitted to the Chief Steward with input from relevant parties. The Chief Steward will respond as (s)he deems appropriate.
Competitors may protest the scores awarded to them by judges. Pro- tests of this nature must be submitted in writing to the Show Office with a $100 protest fee within 12 hours of the completion of scoring for the division in question. The Chief Steward will review the scores with the applicable judges and respond to the competitor. If the judge decides to amend their score, the protest fee will be refunded to the competitor.
Protests relating to errors in scoring input or math (calculation errors or missing scores) must also be filed with the Show Office within 12 hours of the division being posted final and will be corrected at no cost to the competitor.
In the event of a miscalculation of points or awards, the RRP reserves the right to correct the placings and awards, and the decision of the RRP is final, and in its sole and absolute discretion.
Protests will not be evaluated if received outside of the 12-hour protest period. Stewards’ and other officials’ decisions and rulings are final and non-appealable.
