Proposal 35: Coasting - changing the definition of the measuring point (change 3B.6.2) [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: TrackSubmitted on 2019-05-10
Status: Passed on May 27, 2019
Background
Coasting rule 3B.6.2 contains various points which are decisive for determining the wheel position - this should be unified.
Proposal
Old Rule:
3B.6.2 Coasting Events
An event to determine which rider coasts the furthest distance. Riders’ coasting distances are measured from a ‘starting line’ with a 5 meter minimum, which will be marked by a ‘qualifying line.’ If the rider does not cross the qualifying line it will count as a failed attempt. The farthest distance from the line wins. The distance is measured to the rearmost part of the rider that touches the ground when dismounting, or to the rear of the tire where the rider stops coasting. Remounting is not allowed. Riders must not touch any part of their tires, wheels or pedals while coasting. Riders get two attempts. If a rider crosses the coasting line (tire contact point) not in coasting position, he or she is disqualified in that attempt. The riding surface should be as smooth and clean as possible, and it may be straight or curved. Ample time must be allowed for all competitors to make some practice runs on the course before the official start. The type of event(s) to be used should be announced well in advance of the competition. Crank arm rules do not apply in any coasting or gliding events.
New Rule:
3B.6.2 Coasting Events
An event to determine which rider coasts the furthest distance. Riders’ coasting distances are measured from a ‘starting line’ with a 5 meter minimum, which will be marked by a ‘qualifying line.’ If the rider does not cross the qualifying line it will count as a failed attempt. The farthest distance from the line wins. The distance is measured to the rearmost part of the rider that touches the ground when dismounting, or to the tire contact point where the rider stops coasting. Remounting is not allowed. Riders must not touch any part of their tires, wheels or pedals while coasting. Riders get two attempts. If a rider crosses the coasting line (front of the tire) not in coasting position, he or she is disqualified in that attempt. The riding surface should be as smooth and clean as possible, and it may be straight or curved. Ample time must be allowed for all competitors to make some practice runs on the course before the official start. The type of event(s) to be used should be announced well in advance of the competition. Crank arm rules do not apply in any coasting or gliding events.
Body
Coasting rule 3B.6.2 contains various points which are decisive for determining the wheel position. To unify this the two relevant sentences from Rule 3B.6.2:
1. The distance is measured [...] to the rear of the tire where the rider stops coasting.
2. If a rider crosses the coasting line (front of the tire) [...].
were changed into:
1. The distance is measured [...], or to the tire contact point where the rider stops coasting.
2. If a rider crosses the coasting line (tire contact point) [...].
