Proposal 48: Freestyle Wrap Up [ Revision 1 ]

Committee: Freestyle
Submitted on 2015-03-28
Status: Passed on April 09, 2015

Background

One issue that has yet to be resolved during this Rulebook Committee is the judging section of the rulebook. Judging is a very complex and detailed topic and it has rightfully dominated our discussions. If we don’t pass something to improve the judging then we will be stuck with a system that has demonstrated that it doesn’t work. I have created a proposal below that I think will allow us to both have an immediate smaller improvement of the rules that we currently have and as well as continuing to improve them after this rulebook committee has ended. Thomas Tiercy's proposal is an example of a progressive idea that just needs more time to be developed.

Proposal

If you approve this proposal then you are approving two parts:

  1. The current Presentation proposal:
    The Presentation proposal has taken the figure skating rules and modified them for our use. This proposal would then not need a separate voting. I am not trying to declare that this proposal is perfect but the general opinion seems to agree that it is better than the current Presentation rules.

  2. IUF Freestyle Judging Development Committee:

The formation of a separate committee that would continue the discussion of freestyle judging after the end of this rulebook committee. This committee would be composed of anyone who is interesting in the continued development of freestyle judging. This group would pursue the discussions that have been already happening and perhaps also do some testing of ideas.

This group would be an official IUF Committee that would continue the discussion, testing, and development of Freestyle judging. However this group would not be able to change the rules in the IUF Rulebook without additional approval.

Body

I know that this is a bit of an unusual way to do a proposal but it seems like we need a way to come to a conclusion and wrap up Freestyle.
