Proposal 80: New section around the notion of position of a player [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: 15. BasketballSubmitted on 2025-07-17
Status: Passed on August 03, 2025
Background
The FIBA rules use the feet position at several places and we need to clarify what it means in unicycle basketball.
Proposal
Addition of a new section between Sections 15B.5.2 and 15B.5.3.
Section 15B.5.Y Position of a player
For all purposes of location (restricted area, 3-point goal area, backcourt, and any other lane), when a mounted player is not airborne, both their feet are considered on the floor at the point of contact between the wheel and the floor.
A player is considered stationary when their wheel is stopped, their body is above the wheel and no part of their body is moving outside of their cylinder.
Body
The first paragraph is expliciting what everybody has in mind.
The second paragraph clarifies the notion of stationary player, which can be misunderstood (by beginners typically).
