[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Can anyone explain the different DQs regarding starts and what they mean? It confuses the hell out of me.[/quote] The declared false start or [b]DFS[/b] is the one that confuses most people. It usually happens when a swimmer tries to time the start and is already moving when the horn sounds but not so soon that the starter issues a stand command. Otherwise, most false starts are early take offs without a horn ever sounding. This might help too: https://www.pvswim.org/parents/articles/False_Start.pdf[/quote] A DFS is when a swimmer notifies the referee of intent to withdraw after the scratch deadline. The swimmer never makes it to the blocks. https://www.teamunify.com/czwilsc/UserFiles/Image/Officials/OfficialsDeclaredFalseStart-5-8-13.pdf[/quote] That's interesting - I always thought DFS is false starts like the other poster. I think they are used in both situations. Or no? [/quote]
