disqualification
Barred from competing
Disqualification is the act of ruling someone ineligible or the state of being ruled ineligible.
Athletes face disqualification for rule violations; candidates face disqualification for not meeting requirements.
A disqualification is also a specific factor that makes someone ineligible: A felony conviction is a disqualification for jury service.
