CAPTAIN APPL INDEX APPEAL FORM

This form requests a change in a player's APPL Index for the next APPL season. The Captain must complete this form for their player. The Captain is requesting this change as they believe the APPL Index does not reflect the player's rating. NOTE: Please complete this form in one sitting as the form cannot be saved and completed later. The ideal appeal is data-driven and compelling. Please provide as much information as possible. The Central Appeal Committee will review the information. Note that this is not the AUTOMATIC VARIANCE DECLARATION. Please use the 2025 Player Automatic Variance Declaration found in Player Resources to submit your declaration. Please allow two (2) weeks for the appeal to be processed. The Captain will be notified by email of the decision. Successful APPL Index Appeals are valid for one year or until the next player registration, whichever comes first.
