that's the in-vogue mantra, but for the most part, the language the rules uses is that the competitor commits a safety infraction that is subject to DQ, then receives a DQ from the from the match official, who issues it. Technically, they don't "DQ themselves." But they commit an infraction, resulting in DQ. Unfortunately, I've issued several. I also received one, circa 2007. I had a dream a couple weeks ago I received another...
I have nothing against the common language. I use it, too. e.g. "Joe Blow DQ'd on stage 4" or "I hated watching a Boy Named Sue DQ himself." However, it's also not incorrect to say "I DQ'd Mustang Sally when she swept herself," or to ask "how many shooters have you DQ'd."

You can learn a ton from the class, but if you really want to learn about this sport it is when you apply what you learned in class by running the timer on shooters especially at larger matches.

I worked with a "seasoned" RO at the 400 last year and found it very beneficial. He gave me a lot of good tips and advice that it would have taken me longer to learn on my own.
I think "Seasoned" translates to fat, old and grouchy.
For the first time since . . . I don't know when . . . rhino has completed the USPSA NROI Level I Range Officer Recertification Exam not only on time, but four days early!
Yes, it actually happened.
