The app Protest helps to solve rules relevant conflicts in sailing regattas. With a series of yes/no questions, in which the Racing Rules of Sailing of World Sailing are checked in parallel, the app builds up the situation and presents the resulting decision. A menu provides access to the facts found, the conclusions and the rules applied. The default language of the app is English. If the phone is set to German as system-language the app language is German. The texts of the situation, conclusions and facts can be switched directly between English and German. Developed by Mag. Michaela Schmidleitner in cooperation with and on behalf of Sport Consult, Ing. Mag. Gert Schmidleitner.
