At this point I didn't want to argue and look like an old jerk...Sometimes the official will accidently put the wrong event, heat, lane or swimmer name on a DQ slip. And sometimes the Hy-Tek operator will check the DQ on the wrong swimmer. This is part of why the referee or designated official makes “every reasonable effort to seek out the swimmer or the swimmer’s coach and inform one or both as to the reason for the disqualification”
If you are not notified of a DQ it is okay to:
1) Accept the DQ, knowing you swam the swim and got the time you got
2) Approach the meet or admin referee then respectfully let them know you were DQ’ed without notification and that you would like to see the DQ slip to understand why.
