This rule is basically to encourage athletes to genuinely start at the gunshot rather than predicting the gunshot.

You might think it's harsh, but there's some history on why it's like that. It was actually made harsher over time because people were exploiting it when they were given 1 chance.

So to make it fair to everyone, no chances were given.

Wait, straight up disqualified? I don't know much about track and field but isn't that a bit harsh?
Iirc it is/was worse with out it, a video i watched about how track records were being broken due to shoe tech becoming so much better had a very brief point about the problem with some current false start rules. Some athletes would force a false start to have a re-run whereas everyone who didnt know it was a false start would do the run properly. So the person who knowingly did a false start would just walk it off and get to do a redo with the same tired competitors because of how scheduling in track meets is tight for both the scouts and teams competing. So id argue a 1 strike false start rule is better to prevent bad actors within the sport trying to game the system instead of improving ability.

That does make sense... Still, poor tan-tomboy-CF

So THAT'S what those things are for. I always wondered what was the point of the devices at those tracks at the starting line.
