Proposal 19: Number of attempts for jumps [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: JumpsSubmitted on 2015-01-22
Status: Passed on April 05, 2015
Background
Competitions take too long because some people start at really small numbers and keep going forever. This limits the number of attempts.
Proposal
It's not exactly clear where this rule should go because the whole jumps chapter is getting reorganized.
X.Y Number of Attempts
Prelims:
In the preliminary round, riders have 12 attempts to complete their best performance. These attempts can be at any distance and there is no additional limit to the number at any one distance. However each attempt must be at the same or better distance. Thus a rider cannot attempt a longer distance, fail, and then attempt a shorter distance. The best successfully completed attempt is the rider's result.
Finals:
Riders get three attempts for each distance. Riders must successfully complete each distance before moving on to the next distance.
Body
This keeps the finals exciting without being confusing.
