Proposal 104: Include a Definition of Contest and Attempt [ 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 Contest and Attempt are not clearly defined in the Rulebook and are used differently in different places, which can lead to confusion.
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 ---
Contest: A dedicated division within an event that covers certain ages and genders ( e.g. 100 m Female U30, Individual Freestyle Female U19 , Trials Female U15). A contest aims to directly compare the performance of riders/teams to form a ranking and determine the best rider/team.
Attempt: A single performance or effort by an athlete during a contest aimed at achieving a specific result. Each attempt is scored according to defined rules and contributes to the athlete's overall score in the contest. Depending on the event, only one attempt per contest may be possible or several. Events may define more specific terms for an attempt as appropriate such as match, routine, start, run, battle, etc.
