Re: BOs in competitions resulting in a ban?

In Canada, fewer and fewer people are attending competitions, and in fact the popularity of freediving competitions seems to be on the decline in general (around the world).

Banning the few competitors which actually show up for the competition would pretty much wipe out the possibility of any more competitions.

In a world where there were thousands of competitors, and only a few highly qualified people actually qualified for the competitions, then I would agree with the 'ban' principle. However that isn't the real world.
