Hi,

I don't remember where I saw this idea, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me. So what do you think?

For safetyreasons, I think it would make sense to enforce a temporary ban for a freediver for blacking out in a competition.

For example:
-Surface BO in pool -> Banned from competing in AIDA comps for 2 weeks
-Surface BO in open water -> Same
-BO below surface in open water comp -> Banned for example 1 month

The severity of the ban remains debatable, but what does everyone think of the general idea?

There should, of course, be extra clauses like:
-if bo is caused by organizer fault (rope too long etc), ban is not enforced
-Where to draw a line between a BO and a really bad samba? (for example, not able to even try to make SP during 15 sec window, but is lifeless or needs rescuing)
