The National Appeals is a 5 member CFC committee to act as a committee
of final appeal for players dissatisfied with either a TD ruling or the
ruling of the local appeals committee or a TD dissatisfied with the
ruling of the local appeals committee. The terms of reference and
regulations are given in Section 12 of the CFC Handbook.

The committee only convenes when there is an appeal to be heard and
chooses one of its members to be chair and to speak for the committee.
There are many years where there are no appeals and the committee does
not convene.

This year the committee convened due to an appeal on Sambuev - Noritsyn,
Canadian Championship playoff. Here is the report of the committee
verbatim.
