CONCUSSION PRO TOCOL Any EWS/EWS100 racer who fails a concussion assessment by a qualiﬁed medical practitioner, during that event, will be removed from the current practice session or race and will be prohibited from further participation in any EWS/EWS100 or practice session or race until cleared in writing by a medical doctor to resume such activity. Should a concussion be conﬁrmed by a medical doctor, the athlete is responsible for completing a ‘graduated return to activity’ plan.
