GENERAL INFORMATION:

• All NATC Rule Proposals must be submitted with the knowledge of your local NATC Club Representative. This ensures that the Club Rep who attends the NATC meeting may be able to offer input & support for the rule change. 
  
• The current rule must be written out below, if it’s a completely new rule then indicate where in the rule book it is meant to appear.  An example submission is shown below.
  
• Only rule changes submitted in the format requested and by the deadline noted will be accepted for review and discussion by the NATC Rules committee for the following competition year. 
  
• Your confirmation on a rule being accepted and agreed upon is the rule change appearing in the following years revised rules.
  
• The Rules Committee will Approve, Deny or Table a proposed rule change. (Table means further discussion is needed).
  
• The deadline for rule change proposals is October 1st of the current year prior to the NATC Annual meeting that is usually held in late October. This allows for the NATC Rules committee to review the proposed rule and make contact with the author prior to the NATC meeting.
