2008 USCF Rules
1A22. Disqualification is a penalty that causes a rider or
team to lose placing in a race and to be ineligible for any
subsequent heats in the race.
1N7. Disqualification. In races consisting ordinarily of
qualification, semifinal, and final rounds, the disqualification
of a rider or team after the finals shall not change the
placings of other riders. In other races, when a rider or team
is removed from the placings by disqualification, any lower
placed riders will be advanced to their next higher finishing
place.
1C3. A rider who is disqualified for a medical control
infraction must promptly return any prizes and primes won in
the event, though this obligation shall be stayed while a
hearing is pending.
