[quote=Anonymous]We typically do not DQ 6&u's for a false start in a B meet. At that young age, the false start is objectively different from a stroke or touch violation and it doesn't affect the time of their swim (for ladder purposes). It's highly unlikely that a 6&u is trying to anticipate the start signal. For older age groups, we would call the false start. But as others have posted, there are a lot of factors that go into whether it's really a false start (and a DQ) -- other noise, was the swimmer set, etc. B meets are typically loud and benefit of the doubt always goes to the swimmer.[/quote]
