Proposal 62: Move race distance requirements from "Wheel Size Classes" to the appropriate section in Event Flow [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: Track and FieldSubmitted on 2017-01-05
Status: Passed on January 21, 2017
Background
This proposal originates from Discussion #52 "Maximum Wheel Size Clarification". I noticed that the distance of Wheel Walk and Ultimate Wheel are given under "Wheel Size Categories" and nowhere else. This proposal is to move it to where it belongs. No changes in the actual rules are intended, but I did tighten up the wording a little.
By the way, a separate proposal will be (or has been) submitted to replace"Categories" by "Classes".
Proposal
OLD RULE
2B.5 Wheel Size Categories
All riders in age groups with a maximum age of 10 or younger will race a 10m Wheel Walk, and 10m Ultimate Wheel, if used (instead of 30m).

(race distance is not addressed)
3B.6.11 Ultimate Wheel Race
... The traditional distance is 10m for 0-10 riders, and 30m for 11-UP riders. ...
