Proposal 103: Include a Definition of Competition and Event [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: Main CommitteeSubmitted on 2025-07-20
Status: Set-Aside (Reviewed from July 20, 2025 to July 28, 2025)
Background
During the last Rulebook update, the Track Committee realized that keywords such as Competition and Event are not clearly defined in the Rulebook and are used differently in different places, which can lead to confusion.
As an example, if the rules state that there is a disqualification for that event - but if it is not clearly defined what is meant by event, this can lead to problems.
Overall, the terms are used very inconsistently. In order to have a clear definition of the terms within the Rulebook, these are hereby added to Section 1D.1 Definitions.
Proposal
Old rule:
None
New rule:
--- To be inserted at the corresponding position of 1D.1 Definitions ---
Competition: An organized competitive gathering in which individuals or teams compete against each other. Within a competition, there may be several different contests in one or more events, each with specific rules and requirements. Competitions can take place at different levels, from international formats such as Unicon, to regional or national formats such as NAUCC (North America) or CFM (France), to local formats.
Event: A specific competitive activity within unicycling that has specific rules and requirements (e.g. 100m, Individual Freestyle, Trials, High Jump over Bar, Hockey). Each event requires different skills and techniques from the riders and is held as part of competitions.
