I wouldn't call it BS. I'd call it a shame, but the rule seems pretty clear.

I would interpret the rule as entering an active lane or crossing an active lane

It’s a rule in the “interference” section. Who did he interfere with?*

As a fairly high level volleyball official, I get all that.

What's the punishment to officials for not enforcing the rules they're told to "crack down on?"

At least in volleyball, coaches evaluate the refs after every match

The rule says “any competitor who interferes with another swimmer shall be disqualified…”
-

The rule also says "A swimmer who changes lanes during a heat shall be disqualified."

It wasn’t “during” for him or the lane he crossed into. Again, it’s an interference rule.
-
VIV
March 1, 2024, 8:31:04
The heat is still going on. I completely agree he didn't interfere with the other lane
-
MojoJojo
March 1, 2024, 8:32:53
It says “during.” If you want to get technical, it was no longer “during” for either party. *
-
VIV
March 1, 2024, 8:34:24
The heat is the heat, not "their portion of it."
-
MojoJojo
March 1, 2024, 8:36:52
Oooo
-
VIV
March 1, 2024, 8:39:24
I wouldn't say he "changed" lanes. It's an asinine interpretation of the rule.*
-

Unless you're a swimming official, which I am not, we have no idea what their interpretation

You still haven’t answered- who did he interfere with?*
-
VIV
March 1, 2024, 8:43:55
I quoted the rule, which Article B of the interference rule.
-
MojoJojo
March 1, 2024, 8:45:35
So it should be easy then. He clearly broke an interference rule. Who did he interfere with? *
-
VIV
March 1, 2024, 8:48:33
He entered another lane while the heat was still going on.

That you can’t answer the simple question of who was interfered with tells me what I need to know. *

That you want to die on this hill and ignore the literal verbiage tells me all I need to know.*

MojoJojo
March 1, 2024, 9:02:51
I’ll die on the hill that an interference rule is being misapplied

VIV

I 100% get that's what you believe, and that would certainly be grounds to protest
-
MojoJojo

Well, the most important thing is that he learned his lesson.
