Competitors may request to have one of their own competition jumps rejudged. The request must be made in writing in English to the Chief Judge within 30 minutes of the score of the jump in question being posted and shall be accompanied by a rejudgement fee of US $100. Once a request for rejudgement has been received by the Chief Judge it may not be withdrawn and the rejudgement will take place. This rejudgement is only permitted once for each team during a competition. Rejudgements fees shall be retained by the IPC.

This rule is degrading to the general principle of sports, and also to the qualifications of the judges and the quality of their judgement. Norway can not see any pertinent reason to justify a “pay per view” system within sports in general or our sport in particular. The rule is also in conflict with the general interpretation of protests against a judgement call, SC 5.3.1.3, which has been a guiding rule to dealing with judgements in our sport for decades. Why should one not be able to protest a judges’ assessment of a score, but be able to pay money to achieve the same result – a rejudgement? It is in our opinion a poor direction to our competitors, judges and external partcipants to the general principle of sports.
