If you DNS, at SEC;s you're done for the meet unless there is medical documentation.

yes, honest effort rule HOWEVER at least for community colleges in california the rule doesn't get triggered if you check in and don't start, only if you don't check in and don't start.

Hmmm…. I wonder what happened. I mean it’s pretty common to scratch an event in favor of another due to time constraints, etc. I’d never heard that you’d be DQ’d from the entire event for doing so.

Rule 6, Section 2a, 2b, 2d, 2g
a. Competitors or relay teams must participate in the trials and/or finals of all events in which they are declared, defined as a form of commitment to compete. Such participation is also required in subsequent rounds as a result of qualifying, or when participation is a criterion for entry in a subsequent meet. For the initial rounds of all competitions, a declaration/commitment procedure and a withdrawal procedure, with appropriate deadlines for individual and relay team members, excluding alternates, must be published. Actual participation is a default commitment. When an institution’s relay team declares, but does not participate in the competition, individual competitors declared on the relay team shall be allowed to participate in subsequent events of the competition. b. Participation is the expectation that a competitor start the athletic challenge requirements for a field event or any round of a track event, according to the rules of the event.
d. A failure to participate is considered an assumption that the competitor in violation has abandoned the competition and, therefore, shall be barred from all remaining events in the current meet.
g. This rule shall not preclude conferences or championships games committees from creating additional restrictions published in handbooks and manuals
