Proposal 53: 1C.7 Combining Age Groups - when to publish and combine [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: Main CommitteeSubmitted on 2019-05-18
Status: Passed on June 02, 2019
Background
There are not clear guidelines on when age groups must be published.
And no guidelines on when combining age groups should be done if not enough people are signed up for an event.
This proposal only covers the second of these two issues.
Proposal
OLD:
1C.7 Combining Age Groups
In a competition with more than 50 riders, six riders are needed to complete an age group. [... ]
NEW:
1C.7 Combining Age Groups
Age groups for events at the start of registration will follow their event rules. Hosts are allowed to expand (add) or compress (remove) age groups if allowed by the event rules. Age group changes must be published.
The final (combined) age groups for all competitions must be published at the latest seven days before the first day of the convention. Once published, age groups will not change even if competitors drop their events.
In a competition with more than 50 riders, six riders are needed to complete an age group. [... unchanged beyond this sentence ...]
Body
This offers one change to clear up just one part of the age groups discussions that we need to have.
