Filing a Formal Complaint
How to File a Complaint
Before Filing Your Complaint
Is the organization you are a member of, affiliated with the Saskatchewan Racquetball Association?
If no, your complaint is not admissible.
Did the incident occur during a competition and was it addressed through the competition officials or rules of the sport/competition?
If so, you will need to provide this information with your complaint.
Has your complaint been filed/dealt with anywhere else? Your complaint may not be admissible if it has already been handled under a different process or jurisdiction?
If yes, provide this information when filing a complaint.
Can the issue be resolved without a formal complaint?
If appropriate, attempt to speak with coaches, staff or the other individuals involved in the dispute to resolve the matter.
If you are ready to proceed with a formal complaint review the Step-By-Step Guide to Filing a Complaint
