How are disputes handled?
To challenge a team or player’s grade level, age, or residence, the challenge party must: • Meet with the Executive Director and Sport Commissioner within one hour of the completion of the game in question. • Submit a $50 CASH ($100 for Soccer) protest fee per player challenged. * If the player/team is determined ineligible- • The protest money will be refunded. • The ineligible player and his/her coach will be disqualified from the tournament. • The offending team will forfeit the games the ineligible player has competed in. • The coach will be banned from the Sunflower State Games for 5 years. IF THE PLAYER IS DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE, THE PROTEST MONEY WILL NOT BE REFUNDED!!! ANY TEAM THAT SUBMITS AN ENTRY AND TEAM ROSTER AGREES TO THE RULES AS STATED.
The majority of disputes in workers’ compensation claims can be resolved by open communication between the employee, employer and insurance carrier. The employee should be able to learn the reasons for any action taken, as well as the nature of the evidence supporting the action. If the dispute is not resolved, a contested-case proceeding may be initiated before the workers’ compensation commissioner. Though not required, it is usually advisable to consider the need for legal representation when filing a contested-case proceeding. However, before contacting an attorney or filing a contested-case proceeding, the employee is encouraged to contact a compliance administrator in the workers’ compensation commissioner’s office to discuss other options.
