Proposal 46: Standardizing Age Groups across Urban Disciplines [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: 9. FlatlandSubmitted on 2025-06-23
Status: Review from June 23, 2025 to July 01, 2025
Background
In case the Age Group committee does not come to a standardized system across all disciplines, we want to prepare a backup solution for Flatland/Street/Trial to have standardized age groups across these disciplines, that have a similar riders group.
Proposal
Old:
9D.4 Categories
Male and female competitions should be oered in each of the following categories: Junior
Expert (0-14), and Expert (15+). The Advanced category is optional however it is not
allowed at Unicon. If there are less than 3 Junior Expert competitors, they may choose
whether to compete in Expert or Advanced. If there are less than three females or less
than three males overall, the male and female categories may be merged.
New:
9D.4 Categories and Age Groups
Male and female competitions should be offered in each of the following categories:
Junior
consisting of the age groups Kids (0-10) and Youth (11-14)
Adult
consisting of the age groups Young Adult (15-34), Senior (35-49) and Master (50+).
The advanced category is optional however it is not allowed at Unicon.
If there are less than 3 Junior competitors, they will compete in Adult.
If there are less than three females or less than three males overall, the male and female categories may be merged.
(this section might be removed by another discussion)
Body
Because of the fact, that many urban riders do ride in multiple urban disciplines and because it has led to confusion, that riders have to compete in different age groups/categories because of different age rules, we want to standardize the age groups across the main urban disciplines Flatland, Street and Trials.
This is meant as a fallback, in case the age group committee does not come to a standardized solution for all unicycling disciplines.
I included a small renaming of the Youth age group and the Young Adult age group, to prevent confusion by having the same names as the main categories they are part of.
We chose 0-10 for the Kids age group to prepare inclusion into standardization across all unicycling disciplines, since 0-10 has a high probability of being an age group there.
