Proposal 49: Pubblication of the informations about the racing courses and practice possibilities [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: Muni (including Cyclocross)Submitted on 2017-01-02
Status: Passed on January 16, 2017
Background
At UNICON 18 in Spain there were no official practice possibilities for the XC course. The GPS-track was even not pubblished.
Proposal
OLD:
5D.3 Communication
The host must publish two lists of results for each discipline after the competition: Age
group based ranking and overall ranking (separating male/female).
If the hosts wish to include events other than the first three (Up, DH, XC), they must
remember to provide detailed rules for these events at the same time the events are
announced.
Details of all non-track racing events, or other events with unique courses or details
must be published as soon as they are known. This is to provide competitors with the
information they need to train, and to help them prepare the appropriate unicycles.
These are major needs for attendees from far away. Necessary details depend on the
event, but include things like course length, elevation and elevation change, steepness,
level of terrain difficulty, amount of turns, riding surfaces, course width, etc. Maps should
be provided when possible. While sometimes courses cannot be planned until weeks or
days before the convention, as soon as they are known the details must be posted to
the convention web site and/or all places where convention information is posted. It is
acceptable to publish tentative courses while waiting for permits to be approved, etc.

OLD:
5D.5 Practice
For all muni races, every rider must get the chance of at least one test run to get familiar
with the track before the actual race. If possible, the track should be open for training
during all days of the event prior to the race. For multi-day events the muni competitions
should take place during the second half of the event in order to give riders more time
to practice on the course.
If the course is open for practice to all riders for at least 7 days leading up to the event,
then there are no restrictions on who can compete. If the course is not open for practice
until the day of the event, then anyone who has pre-ridden the course is not allowed to
compete. Organizers must therefore ensure that course marking and set-up are done by
non-competing staff/volunteers.

Body
Competitors should have detailed informations about the racing courses sufficiently early to adapt training.
To avoid rectrictions on who can compete and to avoid complications during the race like people going lost, the host must assure practice possibilities for every course.
