​

Any team personnel  (Team personnel includes all coaches, managers, lap counters and participating or nonparticipating contestants) that is/are disqualified from further participation in the meet due to unsporting/unsportsmanlike conduct. Please do not confuse this with unacceptable conduct which is just disqualification from a particular event (Unacceptable conduct DQs do not count as Ejection misconducts).

​

Note: Any unsporting conduct disqualification is an ejection from the meet. For athletes that are disqualified from the remainder of the meet, must leave the competition area. Athletes can be restricted to their athlete area in the area that is other than the competition area (such as the bleachers or team tent). For coaches and other adults that are a part of team personnel may be asked to leave the facility.
