DNF, DNS and DSQ (Race Results)

Race result sheets use short codes for riders who have no normal finishing position:

• DNF – Did Not Finish: the rider started but retired, for example after a crash or breakdown, or did not complete the required laps.
• DNS – Did Not Start: the rider was entered but did not take the start.
• DSQ or DQ – Disqualified: the rider was excluded for breaking the rules, such as a technical infringement, cutting the track or ignoring flags.

How these affect championship points depends on the series regulations, so check the rules of the championship you ride in.
