Propose Rule Changes In The US

Published: June 26, 2018 02:34 pm EDT

Rarely does a day go by that someone doesn’t call, email or post on the internet about something that the U.S. Trotting Association or harness racing should or shouldn’t do to make the sport better.

Each year, the USTA asks members and racing fans, who can become members, to submit proposals for changes that they would like to see made to the organization’s official rules. So now is the chance to make that happen.

Rule change proposals, which can be submitted using this form, should include:

  • Name of USTA member requesting the change;

  • Reason for the change;

  • Supporting information and statistics, where appropriate;

  • A detailed explanation of the proposal;

  • Specific wording for the rule change proposal, if possible.

At each annual district meeting, USTA members in attendance will review then vote to provide a recommendation for each proposal that is submitted to the full Board of Directors at its annual meeting where the final decisions on rule change proposals are made.

Rule change proposals must be submitted no later than Friday, August 31 to: The U.S. Trotting Association, 6130 S. Sunbury Rd., Westerville, OH 43081-9309.
