Proposal 30: Long Jump rule updates [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: JumpsSubmitted on 2015-03-19
Status: Passed on April 01, 2015
Background
I have made a proposal from Reiner's suggestions.
Proposal
Old:
2.19.2.2 Setup
The riding area consists of a start line, a jump marker, a landing marker and a finish line beyond the jump marker.
The finishing line should be at least 4 meters from the landing marker but no more than 8 meters away. We suggest that judges set up the finishing line 8 meters from the jump marker and it further away if need during longer jumps. Riders must ride or hop across the finish line for the attempt to count. Successfully crossing the finish line is judged the same as in racing (see Section 2.6). The start line must be in the minimum 15 meters in front of the jump marker to be able to accelerate; behind the finish line must be an area which is 7 meter long and 2 meter wide in the minimum as safety zone. Riders may use all or part of the 15 meters between start line and jump marker.
They are also allowed to start from beside to be able to do accelerated side jumps. Markers for takeoff and landing (jump marker and landing marker) should be similar in shape to a meter stick, and be at least one meter in width (across the runway), no more than 5mm in height (above the runway), and no less than 3 centimeters in depth (front to back). A Long Jump competition needs a minimum area of 30x2 meters.

Riders must ride or hop across the finish line for the attempt to count. Successfully crossing the finish line is judged the same as in racing (see Section 2.6).

Riders may use all or part of the 25 meters between start line and jump marker.
They are also allowed to start from beside to be able to do accelerated side jumps. Markers for takeoff and landing (jump marker and landing marker) have consist of a material, which not can be deformed, to have the same conditions for all riders, and be at least 1.20 meter in width (across the runway), no more than 10 mm in height (above the runway), and no less than 5 centimeters in depth (front to back). A Long Jump competition needs a minimum area of 40x2.5 meters.
Body
Based on the experiences of Uncion16 and national championships there should be done some corrections and concretizations to have a maximum fair competition in the capture long jump:
- correction in distance contradiction to capture setup
- extension of the minimum available run up distance to 25 meters
- extension of the complete areal
- change at markers: robust material, maximum allowed height 10 mm, electronic monitoring recommended or 2 judges (one for each marker)
The electronic monitoring at unicon16 worked perfect and gave the judges first time the possibility without risk for him to distinguish between slight touch or
