INSTRUCTIONS:
Any tournament attendee who believes that they have been harassed or discriminated against may complete this form to report the alleged violation. After a complainant submits this form, the Equity Office will review the submitted information and should we find action necessary we will contact the individual complainant and conduct a discussion concerning the grievance(s) in the form, through Zoom, in person, or a similar platform. After the discussion, the Equity Office will investigate the allegations in the form, including speaking to parties involved and impacted. After the investigation is complete, the Equity Office will make a referral to the Tournament Directors (District Committee or TD) about the findings and recommended course(s) of action. All parties impacted will be notified of this decision upon its completion.

While we do ask for name and contact information, those questions are * totally optional * and you can exclude that information if there is something you would like to anonymously report. That said, if you would like our Equity Office to follow up with you as part of the investigation, we need you to please include your full contact information.

***The Equity Office is specifically for people who believe they have been harassed or discriminated against. It is NOT the rules office, that is the Ombudsperson***
