Disqualication (DQ)
The DQ (disqualication) ag can be used to disqualify a racer with subsequent re-
ranking on printouts and on the scoreboard.
Typical operation: Press [DQ] and [LANE ON/OFF] key for the desired lane, or enter the
lane number on the number keypad and press [ENTER]. Doing this sets the DQ ag for
that lane. The DQ operation should normally be done at the conclusion of the race, after
the ofcials have ruled on the situation that caused the athlete to be disqualied. On exit
from the DQ command, the scoreboard is automatically updated and any subsequent
printouts will show the revised placing.
The DQ operation can be done at any point in the race and does not affect arming or
recording of times for the lane. By pressing the same lane number again while in the DQ
command, the lane is “re-qualied” and the original status indicator is returned. Before
the meet, the timing operator should clarify with the meet referee if he/she wants the
athletes to be disqualied on the timer. Clarication of this is important for results to be
properly ranked on the printouts and meet management software which will show as a
DQ on the scoreboard.
