Proposal 2: Relationship and referencing between World Record Guidelines and IUF Rulebook [ Revision 2 ]

Committee: Review and Update the Guidelines
Submitted on 2018-12-01
Status: Passed on December 27, 2018

Background

The background is discussed in the discussion with the same title.

(Note that a lot of the discussion was about conditions under which WR attempts may be done, but this issue has been moved to its 'own' discussion.)

Background for revision1:
(a) the version of the Rulebook to be referred to has been discussed in the discussion;
(b) the additional sentence about long-distance standard class specification occurred to me as missing.

Proposal

OLD:

1.2 TERMINOLOGY

The definition of 'Standard Unicycle' and 'Unlimited Unicycle' and other unicycling related terms are found in Section
1.23 of the IUF Rulebook. The IUF World Record Guidelines follows IUF Rulebook terminology.

 

NEW:

 

1.2 RELATIONSHIP WITH IUF RULEBOOK

Unless stated otherwise, all definitions in the latest IUF Rulebook also apply to the World Record Guidelines.

World Records in disciplines that are governed by the IUF Rulebook must comply with the rules for corresponding competitions as per the IUF Rulebook version valid at the date of the attempt.

All standard Track Racing records, as well as the standard 10k Road Race record, must be done on unicycles that comply with either 16 Class, 20 Class or 24 Class. (Note that there are no separate records for these classes.)

All standard Road Racing records beyond 10k must be done on standard unicycles up to 29 Class.

Body

The old rule says that terminology is governed by the IUF Rulebook.
The new rule expands this to include not only terminology but also rules.
In addition, we have avoided references to specific section numbers in the Rulebook because these tend to change between versions.
