Proposal 17: Revise 3C.1.1 Race Director [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: 3. Road RacingSubmitted on 2025-03-24
Status: Passed on April 12, 2025
Background
In the discussion about the revision of rule 3C.1.3 Starter, it was discussed to what extent the starter should explain the rules - the conclusion in the end was that a "race briefing" should not be the task of the starter, but of someone else, e.g. at the line-up or even before. Therfore it makes sense that the Race Director is responsible for ensuring that a “race briefing” happens.
Paragraph 4 has been added and deals with the race briefing. The remaining paragraphs have been taken from the current rule and have been slightly reordered.
Proposal
Old Rule:
3C.1.1 Race Director
The Race Director is the head organizer and administrator of road race events. With the Convention Host, the Race Director determines the course, obtains permits, interfaces with the community, and determines the system used to run the event. The Race Director is responsible for the logistics, equipment for all road racing events. With the Referee, the Race Director is in charge of keeping events running on schedule, and answers all questions not pertaining to rules and judging. The Race Director is the highest authority on everything to do with the road race events, except for decisions on rules and results.
New Rule:
