Over the week end, (for the first time in 30 years of competitive swimming) I was disqualified. It bothered me a little bit for about thirty minutes but after a few plates of food at the all-you-can-eat brunch across the street, I was fine. I did have a question though. Do the officials usually tell you that they are disqualifing you? The official came over to my lane and said something to me (about my *** pull-out on the 200 IM) after the heat but never actually said that I was disqualified. I was a little confused so after I got out of the pool I walked over and asked, "Did you disqualify my?" The answer was yes. Never having experienced this before, I was wondering do the officials usually actually say "I am disqualifying you" or "You are disqualified" or is the suggestive comment supposed to serve this purpose.
it would be more fair
if judges could make calls from video play back and
underwater footage
Option 1
Interesting proposition. How much do you want to spend to go to a meet? To set that system so that it is fair cameras would have to be above every lane and under every swimmer.
Omega charges thousands of dollars for putting in their system for the worlds and Olympics. There are 6-10 technitions working on the sytstem.
Option 2 - the low cost one
Life aint fair.
