[My officer didn't DQ you, he advised you to contact the tournament director]
This is not true at all.. When I approached the CLA officer and the DEC Cop, The DEC cop told me as follow "You are DQed from your tournament and you must leave the water NOW". When I reached the ramp he told me again what reasons I was being DQed for and why I was being removed from the water. He told me I was being DQed and removed from the water for the two citations I was getting one for speeding and one for leaving the scene.
Now my question to you is I would like to see this in writing in your rules that says you are suppose to remove someone from the water just for tickets? Give me a link to your rules or laws thanks.
