Proposal 1: Accept past amendments: Ungeared awards and Group/Club Freestyle [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: USA CommitteeSubmitted on 2017-03-12
Status: Passed on March 31, 2017
Background
In the previous 2016 USA Rulebook Amendments, in part 2 there are current two amendments: Ungeared Awards/Champion and Group/Club Freestyle. I think both of these changes are something the USA should keep.
Proposal
Keep parts 2.1 Ungeared Champion and 2.2 Group Freestyle from the current 2016 USA Rulebook Amendments. Only the reference number to the IUF Rule must be updated for the new 2017 IUF Rulebook when the new USA Rulebook Amendments are compiled.
For completeness, both rules are copied below:
2.1 Ungeared Champion
At NAUCC, for each gender (male and female) where there are five or more geared riders in an Unlimited event, the fastest ungeared rider from that gender will be awarded with the North American Ungeared Champion title for that event. The next two ungeared riders from each gender should also be recognized with an award for second and third place, respectively, in that event. This is only for the expert classification, not for Age Groups.
2.2 Group Freestyle
Group freestyle is divided into two categories: Club and Group. Each rider may enter each category (Club and Group) only once. For example: a rider can be in a Club routine and a Group routine, but not two Group Routines. A rider may appear in a second Group Freestyle performance with permission of the Chief Judge, to replace a rider due to illness, injury or other mishap.
2.2.1 Group
Minimum of three riders.
2.2.2 Club
Minimum of three riders. Must be a USA Affiliated Club, and all riders must be members of said club.
2.2.3 Minimum Age Groups
None.
2.2.4 Time Limit
Five minutes for Club, three minutes for Group.
2.2.5 Unicycles
Any type and any number.
2.2.6 Music and Costume
Same as Individual Freestyle.
2.2.7 Props and Decoration
Same as Individual Freestyle.
2.2.8 Judging Method
Same as Individual Freestyle, but with additional emphasis on teamwork and multiple person skills, such as formation riding. Extra consideration will be given to account for widely different group sizes, relative skill levels, and relative ages of riders.
Body
In the previous 2016 USA Rulebook Amendments, in part 2 there are current two amendments: Ungeared Awards/Champion and Group/Club Freestyle. I think both of these changes are something the USA should keep.
