Proposal 61: Standardizing Age Groups across Urban Disciplines [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: 11 & 12. TrialsSubmitted on 2025-07-03
Status: Passed on July 21, 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:
11D.4 Age Groups
Competitors are divided up into different categories for the purpose of awarding prizes.
Rider age groups are composed of the following categories:
Kids, for riders aged 0-9
Junior, for riders aged 10-15
Adult, for riders aged 16-34
Senior, for riders who are equal to or older than 35
The minimum number of competitors in a category must be 3, otherwise it will be blended
with another category at the discretion of the director. Please refer to 1C.7.2 for more
information on merging age groups.
New:
11D.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 minimum number of competitors in a category must be 3, otherwise it will be blended
with another category at the discretion of the director. Please refer to 1C.7.2 for more
information on merging age groups.*
*this section might be removed in the other discussion/proposal
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.
