Started
Given that it seems we have some more time do anyone wanna take a look at the rules and suggest how they can be restructured (without changing them). I think there's some stuff around fouls and safety rules that it makes sense to restructure, but there may be more.
Comment
Here me suggestion from 6 months ago to have a starter:
Get our rules more logical sorted.
- Event flow
- followed with all what stops the event flow:
-- Safety, Goal shots, Fouls
- Penalties
Comment
I agree and can review and make suggestions on peoples psots but I am unlikely to have the time to write them up specifically as I am trying to do jumps/flatland/street/trials also

Comment
Sorry now it looks like poor, in the preview it was a pretty good table.
Comment
Herbert,
Can you post this somewhere else (like a google doc) and share a link with the committee so we can see this in a better format.
Comment
May be this helps:

Thank you! Very helpful.

Great Job Herbert
I like most of yours.
I changed a few extra things and gave reasons why next to them I tried to put as much info as possible about what I changed and why.
I noted the level of heading that each rule would be so you can try and visualise what the rulebook would look like.

Any other comments?
Herbert, do you disagree with any of Steven's changes?
Can this get voted on?
Comment
I didn't think I would have any comments as I am not a hockey rider, however, to be consistent with the rest of the rulebook, Safety should have its own heading.
Comment
I think this can be voted on. As far as I can see the safety chapter will get its own heading so everything related to safety is collected there. The reason it would not have had its own heading before is that some of the safety rules are also in the fouls section whereas now all safety stuff is in a chapter and the rules simply say it's a foul to break a safety rule.
Comment
I did yet not have any time to look at Herberts proposal.
I hope I will have time next week and can comment on this discussion.
Comment
I think it is better to have fouls under the heading of fouls than fouls under the heading of safety and say it is a foul to break a safety rule.
You cant put ALL fouls under safety as certain things like "moving the goal" are not so much a safety rule. I believe it is awkward to split the fouls up in our rulebook, if someone is browsing to find a foul they will go to the foul section, having it under safety seems odd to me.
I am not sure what the best thing to do is. Keep just the clothing rule under safety? The only thing under safety that should specifically stay there is "Attention must be drawn to the safety of the players and spectators. Thus, the safety (change to foul) rules have to be obeyed strictly and all equipment must be in good condition."
Even that is a kind of redundant statement in my opinion. When does a rulebook say "make sure you follow the rules". The whole point of a rulebook is to be followed, why would someone be reading the rulebook if they didn't intend to follow them, specifically outlining to the reader that they should follow the rules seems quite stupid to me.
What comes under safety in other sections
Basketball has only that shoes must be worn and clothing suggestions. (Fouls including ones that may come under safety such as pushing triping striking or holding an opponent come under a separate heading "Fouls")
Trials has that riders must wear a helmet shin guards and shoes.
Track says Riders must wear shoes knee pads and clothes and riders on wheels larger than 24 class must also wear helmets.
In keeping with these, the heading of clothing should be removed and should come under safety with no heading. All other fouls should go to fouls where they belong.
Comment
I can see Scotts and Stevens points.
Keeping the heading "safety" (with 2 sub chapters), 14B.6
and move 3 safety rules under the heading of "fouls" 14B.8
Safety and Fouls are unchanged on the same level. Probably a compromise we can vote on.

Comment
Can this new structure from Herbert be made into a proposal and go to voting?
Comment
Exaggerated roughness already is in "general considerations" in fouls section so not sure if it should be in both. I would remove it from safety and leave it in fouls. Safety would just be clothing like every other discipline in the rulebook
Comment
In fouls section in "general considerations" the "Exaggerated roughness" is only mentioned in combination with "raising stick", as examples.
E.g. pushing somebody towards the wall or a harder body check I would call "Exaggerated roughness" as well.
If we follow Steven we have to to following:
Take out the words "Exaggerated roughness can lead to injuries and must be therefore be avoided." from the heading "Exaggerated roughness" and move them to "Fouls /General Considerations" as the second sentence just after "All players must take care not to endanger others."
Delete the left heading "Exaggerated roughness" from "Safety".
Delete only the heading "Clothing" and let their text as follow-on-text flow under the heading "safety".
This would be no change of rules, only moving rule text as a organization.
More opinions, only 2 days left for proposal!

Comment
Herbert,
I think the strategy you suggest for restructuring safety is good.
Comment
Only one day left to be made into a proposal. Some more comments from other voters?
If not, Magnus please go for proposal
Comment
Sounds good
Comment
For Revision: Please delete "(see section 14B.10.4)" In fouls section, chapter"general considerations". No link required any more.
