I have also created a proposal for the finalization of chapter 5. If you have any comments, please let me know so that I can adapt the proposal accordingly.
The items currently listed under 5.1 General have either already been moved to section 5.2 Road Racing specific Documentation Criteria or are included in the IUF Rulebook and therefore do not need to be listed in the new section 5.1.
The fact that all records are listed for standard unicycles and unlimited unicycles has been integrated into section 5.1, so that the following list of record categories remains a little clearer.

> All Road Racing Records are kept rounded up the closest 1 s
This is ambiguous. You would either round up to whole seconds, or round to the closest whole second. I think we always want to round up. Then I suggest
"All Road Racing Records are kept rounded up to whole seconds"

I see your point, even if I wouldn't consider it ambiguous - the information “rounded up” says in which direction rounding is done and “closest 1 s” says to where rounding is done/where to stop runding up. For whole seconds, I think your wording is indeed equivalent - but when rounding to fractions of a second, I find the wording “All [...] records are kept rounded up to 0.01/0.1 seconds.” kind of unintuitive... but I'm not a native speaker ma-be the wording is periectly fine. tf a native speaker could comment on the wording, that would be great.
