Proposal 24: Ungeared Recognition [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: Road RacingSubmitted on 2015-02-18
Status: Passed on March 14, 2015
Background
At NAUCC there is a category were the top ungeared rider is recognized in each event, only the top rider, not the top 3.
A "traditional" unicycle is ungeared and those riders should still get recognized for placing without a geared unicycle. Our unicycling community has a long standing history of recognizing every participant and encouraging each rider to continue riding. Just because you don't have a geared unicycle you should be overlooked for performing well in a race.
Proposal
Old Rule (from U.S.A. rulebook as a framework as no prior rule exists)
3.2.1 Ungeared Champion
If there are 5 or more geared riders in an Unlimited event, the fastest ungeared rider will be awarded North American Ungeared Champion for that event. This is only for the overall classification, not for Age Groups.
New Rule
3.2.1 Ungeared Awards
If there are 5 or more geared riders in an Unlimited event, the fastest 3 ungeared riders from both the male and female categories will be awarded with an ungeared title for that event. This is only for the overall classification, not for Age Groups.
