Proposal 98: Extension of the classes by a third, optional youth class [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: Age GroupsSubmitted on 2025-07-20
Status: Passed on August 13, 2025
Background
If the proposal to introduce the Junior and Adult classes is accepted, a third, optional “Youth” class should be introduced with this proposal.
Proposal
Extension of 1C.x Classes by the aspects written in bold:
1C.x Classes (to be added between 1C.6 and 1C.7)
1. Classes reward championship titles. Boundaries of a class ensure equal conditions to compete for that title. There are two mandatory classes:
i) Junior (<14)
ii) Senior (15+)
2. Classes can never be merged. Organizers may choose to only offer competitions in one of the mandatory classes, but if they allow competitors of both classes, they need to be separate.
3. Additionally a third class Youth (15 - 18) can be used, with given reasons in the Event Organizer Rules of each respective section. The youth class should only be used with a correspondingly high number of participants and sufficient performance differences to the adult class. When Youth class is used, the Senior class only includes starters at the age of >=19.
