Proposal 93: 12B.5.4 Definition Of “Cleaning” - requiring exiting in control [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: TrialsSubmitted on 2019-05-24
Status: Passed on June 09, 2019
Background
Right now we do not require the rider to finish the line in control. This changes that rule.
Proposal
Old rule
12B.5.4 Definition Of “Cleaning”
Cleaning a section is defined as follows:
1. Riding into a section. This is defined as the moment a rider’s tire crosses over the start line.
2. Riding through the section without “dabbing”. Dabbing is defined as follows:
a. Allowing any part of the rider’s body to touch the ground or obstacle. If loose clothing brushes against the ground or obstacle but does not influence the rider’s balance, then this is acceptable (does not constitute a dab).
b. Allowing any part of the cycle except the tire, rim, spokes, crank arms, pedals, or bearing caps to touch the ground or obstacle.
c. Riding or hopping outside the boundaries of the defined section. The unicycle must be within the boundaries of the section at all times, even if the rider is in the air (for example, a rider cannot hop over a section boundary that turns a corner, even if they land back inside the section).
d. Breaking the flagging tape or other markers that are delineating a section boundary. Touching or stretching the tape does not constitute a dab, as long as the unicycle remains inside the section boundary.
e. Riding a section in any way that is not consistent with the instructions outlined for that problem.
3. Exiting the section. A rider exits a section when their wheel fully cross over the finish line, or are within a defined finish area (such as a taped circle on top of a boulder). There is no requirement to exit in control. If a rider falls across the defined finish line but manages to exit without dabbing, they have cleaned the section.
New Rule
12B.5.4 Definition Of “Cleaning”
Cleaning a section is defined as follows:
1. Riding into a section. This is defined as the moment a rider’s tire crosses over the start line.
2. Riding through the section without “dabbing”. Dabbing is defined as follows:
a. Allowing any part of the rider’s body to touch the ground or obstacle. If loose clothing brushes against the ground or obstacle but does not influence the rider’s balance, then this is acceptable (does not constitute a dab).
b. Allowing any part of the cycle except the tire, rim, spokes, crank arms, pedals, or bearing caps to touch the ground or obstacle.
c. Riding or hopping outside the boundaries of the defined section. The unicycle must be within the boundaries of the section at all times, even if the rider is in the air (for example, a rider cannot hop over a section boundary that turns a corner, even if they land back inside the section).
d. Breaking the flagging tape or other markers that are delineating a section boundary. Touching or stretching the tape does not constitute a dab, as long as the unicycle remains inside the section boundary.
e. Riding a section in any way that is not consistent with the instructions outlined for that problem.
3. Exiting the section. A rider exits a section when their wheel fully crosses over the finish line, or is within a defined finish area (such as a taped circle on top of a boulder). If there is no clearly defined finish area or finish line, the rider has deemed to have exited the section when they are back on the ground at the end of the section. The rider must finish in control as demonstrated by remaining mounted for a 3-second count from a judge after exiting the section.
Body
Only part 3, Exiting the section, is changed. It adds a sentence to describe what happens when there is no defined finish line or area. It also adds the requirement to stay in control for 3 seconds after finishing the section.
