Restructure the general rules in 3B (Closed for comments)


Comments about this discussion:

Started

After the last Rulebook Committee revised the structure of the Track chapter quite fundamentally, I wondered whether it wouldn't be more clear to also revise the structure of the Road Race chapter.
One thing that I find very confusing in the current Road Racing chapter, for example, is which official disciplines there are in the field of Road Races. I also find the assignment of some sub-chapters not particularly logical.

The structure I had in mind would be something like this:

3B.1 General Road Racing Rules
    3B.1.1 Safety
    3B.1.2 Unicycles
    3B.1.3 Rider Identification
    3B.1.4 Riders Must Be Ready
    3B.1.5 Protests
3B.2 Road Racing Disciplines

    3B.2.1 Fixed Distance Races
        3B.2.1.1 10 km
        3B.2.1.2 Marathon
        3B.2.1.3 100 km
   
3B.2.2 Free Distance Races
    3B.2.3 Criterium
    3B.2.4 Time Trials
3B.3 Racing Rules
    3B.3.1 The Start
        3B.3.1.1 False Start
    3B.3.2 The Race
        3B.3.2.1 Illegal Riding
        3B.3.2.2 Passing
        3B.3.2.3 Dismounts
        3B.3.2.4 Repair, Change, or Replace a (Broken) Unicycle
    3B.3.3 The Finish

With the exception of section 3B.2 Road Racing Disciplines, everything could be taken over from the existing rules for now - this proposal should therefore not contain any changes to the content, but should only adapt the structure of the existing rules.
