There won't be many more DQ's because there will be very
few false starts.

My guess is that few, if any, meet directors of
invitational meets will be in favor of going to a one false start rule in
races from 400 down. They put a lot of time, money and promotions into
getting the best sprinters and hurdlers to their events and wouldn't want to
see them disqualified easily. My guess is that it is very rare in
invitational races for top athletes to false start twice. I don't think
we have ever had a disqualification for two false starts in the ten years of
the adidas Oregon Track Classic.
And I don't think track fans would like it either
when they come to a meet only to see a premier sprinter or hurdler
disqualified for one false start.
