I'm with you, Rich.

The youth events would benefit by having this (although I'd probably suggest it not be used for ranking events like nationals or whatever that equivalent is)

On the adult section, a DSQ for outside assistance would be the norm. I doubt there would be many circumstances that adults would need the outside assistance anyway, except for gear failure or injury?

My thought is that with youth events, the directive should be safe and fun skill development, not necessarily sanctions and DSQs
