Comment
Indeed, this section header does not have any text. What would you suggest?
Comment
Most if not all "Organiser Rules" sections in other Chapters of the Rulebook contain a Venue section. It may even be "mandatory" in some way.
Rather than deleting it, let's think what to put here. Maybe something about indoor/outdoor, or something about the riding surface...
Comment
I checked other parts of the rulebook to find ideas what to put here (I highlighted the things that I find suitable with bold):
Racing
2D.1 Venue
A track must be made available for conducting the track races. The track must be marked in meters, and should be prepared in advance with start and finish lines for the various racing events that are unique to unicycle racing (such as 50, 30, 10 and5 meter lines). In addition to the track, a smooth area of sufficient size must be set aside to run the IUF Slalom. A public address system must be provided to announce upcoming events and race winners. Bullhorns are usually not adequate for the track environment. If the track is outdoors, plans must be made to deal with inclement weather. Using an indoor track can eliminate this problem. The track must be available for enough days to allow for inclement weather.
Flatland
10D.1.2 Riding Surface
Paved, outdoor areas are ideal for Flatland. The riding surface must be of a similar texture and riding quality throughout the competition area. Note that Flatland unicycle have black tires and sometimes that may mark or damage indoor surfaces. Although being indoors offer shelter and climate control, most indoor surfaces are not suitable. Indoor concrete is not suitable as it is most often polished, hence too slippery. Unicycles with metal pedals and marking tire are allowed. The Event Host must organize the competition where marking tires and metal pedals are allowed.
Trials
12D.1 Venue
In the Trials Comp, the organizers should postpone the events and exchange all the affected parts of the course for dry ones (replacing pallets for example). These competitions should be canceled if considered dangerous for the riders. If postponed or moved to an indoor location the organizers must try to keep the allowances the same as outdoors competitions (metal pedals allowed for example). If originally on the competition schedule, these canceled competitions should be rescheduled during the convention duration. The event host should try to place events that may be influenced by weather conditions in the first days of the event, giving a larger period of time to reschedule it. There should be no dangerous objects to land on if a rider falls off a high object. Sections should be constructed so that they do not collapse or fall over under normal riding conditions.
Comment
Those bold parts, with some rewording where appropriate, are a good start.
This bit from 12D.1 could also be helpful if outdoors

Comment
13D.1 Venue
A smooth area of sufficient size must be set aside to run jump events taking into account a 15m runway for High Jump events and 25m in long jump on track. Unicycles with metal pedals and marking tire are allowed. The Event Host must organize the competition where marking tires and metal pedals are allowed. If the track is outdoors, plans must be made to deal with inclement weather. Using an indoor track can eliminate this problem. The track must be available for enough days to allow for inclement weather.
This is not great wording but it is a start. the 15m runway for high jump is given in the setup for platform high jump and should be the same for over bar. The 25m long jump is given in the long jump setup, but will only be used for long jump on track as long jump on platform has changed.
We need to decide on the naming of events to finish this rule.
Comment
The naming events proposal can be independent of this proposal. THe naming (if it passes) will overwrite any other proposals.
Comment
13D.1 Venue
A smooth area of sufficient size must be set aside to run jump events. This must include a 15m runway for both high jump events and a 25m runway for long jump on track. Unicycles with metal pedals and marking tire are allowed. The Event Host must organize the competition where marking tires and metal pedals are allowed. If the venues are outdoors, plans must be made to deal with inclement weather. Using an indoor venue can eliminate this problem. The track must be available for enough days to allow for inclement weather.
(not sure if meter should be m or "meter")
Comment
In the current rulebook, both m and meter are used. With m, there is sometimes a space between the number and m. With meter, there is always a space. Not sure if we should bother about this variability, it's clear anyway.
Comment
When done correctly, there is a small, non-breaking space between the number and m. I have gone through once before to fix this, but they non-space versions like to wander back in. I am also sure I missed some.

Comment
Ehmmm, now there seem to be two spaces between 15 and m.
Comment
I do look for typos when I actually implement proposals in the Rulebook, so please don’t fix this now as it will extend the proposal by another 3 days.
Comment
Scott -- there isn't a proposal associated with this discussion yet.
Steven -- please make a proposal.
