Which statement about recording disqualifications is NOT correct?

• A. They are logged on official bout records with the reason, time, and issuing official.
• B. They are always kept secret from public records.
• C. The decision is communicated to the participants.
• D. The records are archived for accountability.

Answer: (B)

Recording disqualifications centers on clear, auditable documentation. In practice, a disqualification is logged on the official bout record with the reason, the time of the ruling, and the issuing official, creating an exact account of what happened and who made the decision. The decision is communicated to the participants so they understand the outcome and any consequences for the bout. The records are archived for accountability, allowing review and ensuring consistency across events. It is not correct to claim these records are always kept secret from public records; such information is part of official records and typically accessible to participants, commissions, and, where appropriate, the public to maintain transparency and fairness.
