AH! you beat me to it. And also, from the same document, p. 11:
After fumbling around so much last year and trying to learn the ropes, this year I just put the regulations on my computer desktop so its handy...

DNS = DId Not Start
=====

J) Disqualifications, Did Not Start, Did Not Finish

1) Any skater disqualified in the first round of a distance, whether it be a heat or quarter final or semi-final, will receive a rank that is equal to the number of skaters in the field and receive Final Points according to that rank. Disqualified skaters will not compete in a quarter-final, semi-final or final in that distance.

2) Any skater disqualified in a subsequent round will receive a rank equal to the number of skaters in that round and receives Final Points according to that rank. Disqualified skaters will not advance to subsequent rounds.

3) If a skater is disqualified in a final, the skater will receive a rank equal to the number of skaters in that final and receive final points according to that rank.

4) If a skater does not start a race in the first round of a distance, the skater will be disqualified from races at that distance and receive no points for that distance. If a skater does not start a race in a subsequent round of a distance, the skater will be disqualified from races at that distance and receive a rank equal to the number of skaters in that round and receive final points according to that rank.

5) A skater must finish the entire distance or will be considered disqualified. If the referee, at his/her discretion feels that the skater was prevented from finishing due to reasons beyond the skater’s control, then the referee may declare the skater having reached the finish, but no time will be recorded.

Thanks Number1. That makes much more sense now.
