rule, any competitor starting before the starting signal has been given, shall
be deemed to have false started and awarded the slowest time for the event plus
10 seconds in the case of Pairs,
and awarded the last available place in all other events.
(b) If the starting signal
sounds before the false start is declared, the race shall continue and the
competitor's shall be informed of the false start at its completion and awarded
last place except in the case of Pairs where they will be awarded the slowest
time plus 10 seconds,
(c) If the false start is
declared false, before the starting signal, the signal shall not be given, but
the ' remaining competitors called back, be reminded by the starter of the
penalties, and start again.

start shall be the same as the starting signal but repeated along with dropping
of the false start rope. Alternatively if the 'referee or the referee's
designate decides that the start is false, the referee or referee's designate
shall blow a whistle, to be followed by the starter's signal (repeated) and
dropping of the false start rope.
(e) If an error by an
official follows a fault by a competitor, the fault of the competitor may be
expunged.
