失格 and 退場: Disqualification, a Stage Exit, and an Exit Order

Compare rule and deadline disqualification with leaving a stage after performing and an order following repeated fouls. Keep the Japanese exit order distinct from the English ejected wording.

Disqualification for rules and a deadline

失格 (しっかく) means disqualification. 「選手は規定に違反して失格になった。」 — “The athlete was disqualified for breaking the rules.” The athlete was disqualified for breaking the rules, a reported past result.

「提出期限を過ぎた作品は失格となる。」 — “Entries submitted after the deadline are disqualified.” The sentence concerns entries submitted after the deadline. Its criterion is the one described in this example, rather than a universal rule for every competition or service.

Leaving after performing and an order after fouls

退場 (たいじょう) means exit or dismissal. 「演奏を終えた出演者が舞台から退場した。」 — “The performer left the stage after finishing the piece.” The performer left after finishing the piece. The sentence does not add misconduct or punishment.

「反則を重ねた選手に退場が命じられた。」 — “The player was ejected after repeated fouls.” The English quotation reports ejection. The Japanese 退場が命じられた and Korean translation report an order to leave; preserve that order without adding completed physical departure to the Japanese statement.

A judgment, an action, and an order

失格 concerns a disqualification judgment in these examples. 退場 also describes an ordinary exit after a performance, so an exit alone does not establish disqualification or punishment.

The repeated-foul example uses ejected in English and an order in Japanese and Korean. Preserve each quotation's wording and distinguish those scopes in explanation, without turning the order into a report of completed departure.

Does 退場 after finishing a performance necessarily mean punishment?

Show the answer and why

No. That example describes the performer leaving after the piece. The separate 退場が命じられた reports an order; the English ejected wording does not justify adding completed physical departure to the Japanese sentence.
