How is it against the rules.
Do two wrongs make a right?
The premeet (earlier meets), prestart (this meet), officials certainly played a part in this fiasco, and should take some blame, but the coaches were the most at fault. Coaches should know the rules and should communicate such to their athletes. The postmeet officials that disqualified the athletes were in no way at any fault, they were just doing their job. Why have rules if they're not going to be enforced.
