Proposal 34: Finalizing structure of chapter 6 (Time Trial Records) [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: Review and Update the GuidelinesSubmitted on 2025-05-15
Status: Review from May 15, 2025 to May 20, 2025
Background
Now that we have approved the general documentation criteria and those for the individual disciplines, we should do the fine-tuning on the rest of the individual discipline chapters. This concerns the general section and the section on the individual categories.
Since all time trail records are only listed as unlimited records, I have moved the corresponding information to section 6.1, which keeps the list of record categories cleaner.
I have moved the aspects "stationary start" and "no drafting" to the documentation criteria, as this is about documenting a certain behavior of the rider.
Proposal
Old Rule:
6 TIME TRIAL RECORDS
6.1 GENERAL
These must be performed on a circuit track as a time-trial from a stationary start. No drafting is allowed. The rider must be visible to witnesses at all times.
6.2 TIME TRIAL RECORD CATEGORIES
6.2.1 1 hour unlimited
This is the furthest distance travelled on an unlimited unicycle in a one hour period.
Distance calculation is based on section 5.1.3.
6.2.2 24 hour unlimited
This is the furthest distance travelled on an unlimited unicycle in a 24 hour period.
Distance calculation is based on section 5.1.3.
6.2.3 10 kilometre unlimited
This is the fastest ride on an unlimited unicycle over a 10km distance.
6.2.4 100 kilometre unlimited
This is the fastest ride on an unlimited unicycle over a 100 kilometre distance.
6.2.5 100 mile unlimited
This is the fastest ride on an unlimited unicycle over a 100mile distance.
New Rule:
6 Time Trial Records
6.1 General
1. Time Trail Records are recognized in the official IUF Time Trial Categories according to section 6.3 of these Guidelines.
2. Only records on unlimited unicycles will be recognized; there will be no further subdivision into wheel classes.
3. Proof of compliance with the requirements of the IUF Rulebook and these Guidelines for venue, distance, timing as well as compliance with the competition rules of the discipline in question, must be provided for each record.
4. All fixed-distance Time Trail Records are kept rounded up the closest 1 s, all maximal distance Time Trail Records are kept rounded down the closest 1 m.
6.2 Time Trails specific Documentation Criteria
- as approved in proposal 25 and additinally add the following paragraphs and move the current paragraph 4 to position 6 -
4. Any record must be set from a stationary start, compliance with this rule must be monitored and confirmed by the starter. Electronic false start monitoring systems are not required.
