Proposal 71: Accuracy of published results in Road racing (new rule) [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: RoadSubmitted on 2019-05-22
Status: Passed on June 13, 2019
Background
The World Record Committee has established accuracies with which the world records will be published, the result lists of the competitions should have the same accuracy and therefore we should prescribe in the rulebook with which accuracy results are to be published.
Proposal
OLD RULE:
[No rule]
NEW RULE:
4D.16 Accuracy of results
For all road race results, unless the measured time is an exact whole second, the time shall be converted and recorded to the next longer whole second, e.g. 1:33:47.153 shall be recorded and published as 1:33:48.
In the event that there is a tie where an award is at stake, if a Photo Finish system or other accurate method was used, the results of this shall be used to decide on the placings. In this case, the note (e.g. Photo Finish: +0.XX) is printed on the results list next to the official time. In other cases it shall be determined to be a tie and the tie shall remain and gets published as such.
Example: If two riders have reached a time of 1:33:48 and the image of the Photo Finish System shows a difference of 0.456 seconds, the following will be printed on the result list:
1st Place Rider 1 1:33:48
2nd Place Rider 2 1:33:48 (Photo finish: +0.456)

I have added the section in italic, drawing from proposal 59 which regulates the same issue for Track Racing.
I have added "or other accurate mothod", because we're talking whole seconds here. A regular consumer-type video or still picture, or even eye witnesses as to who came first, would be sufficient if a Photo Finish system is not used.
