Timing problems and protests must be presented within the posted 15-minute protest period. Problems and protests presented after the 15-minute protest period may not be addressed in time for the award ceremony.
Website results will be posted on race day afternoon. Please email all questions regarding results to mesp@mesp.com. All disputes will be sent to the timing director and addressed in a timely manner. Changes will be made up to two weeks following the event after which time all results will be considered final.
