Proposal 49: Run length for X-Style [ Revision 3 ]
Committee: X-StyleSubmitted on 2015-04-01
Status: Passed on April 12, 2015
Background
The prelims do not need to be as long as the finals.
Proposal
Old rule:
Y.2 Runs
Every competitor has a 2 minute run. The rider shows his/her skills during this time.
A DJ plays music for each run. After 2 minutes the DJ waits until the current skill is
finished and stops the music. Riders can also hand in their own music. Riders can ask
the DJ to give a time-remaining notification during his/her run.
New Rule:
Y.2 Runs
Every competitor has a run in which the rider shows his/her skills.
A DJ plays music for each run. After the run the DJ waits until the current skill is
finished and stops the music. Riders can also hand in their own music. Riders can ask
the DJ to give a time-remaining notification during his/her run.
Y.2.1 Run Length
The event director can choose the length of the runs, but it must be announced at least one month before the competition if it differs from the recommended format below. Runs must be between 1 and 2 minutes 30 seconds.
This is the recommended format:
The length of a competitor's run is determined by the round.
- If three or more rounds:
1st round: 1 minute
Intermediate rounds: 1 minute 30 seconds
Finals: 2 minutes. - If two rounds:
1st round: 1 minute 30 seconds
Finals: 2 minutes - If one round: 2 minutes
Body
The shorter rounds in the beginning keep the competition fast and exciting and the normal length rounds in the finals showcase the riders' skills.
