Unless a decision is specified as final in these rules, an appeal of a committee decision may be appealed to the BAYS Board of Directors. At the discretion of the Board, an appeal may be heard at the next regular meeting or a special meeting.

Each appeal needs to be accompanied by an appeal fee of $100 (refunded if the appeal is successful). Notification that one is going to appeal a recognized BAYS Committee or Protest Board decision needs to be made to the BAYS First Vice President within 48 hours of the decision. All written appeals shall be received by the BAYS First Vice President, or another BAYS Board member designated to receive the appeal documents with a $100 fee which shall be electronically transferred to a BAYS account or a check will be received within 10 days of the decision.
