Proposal 29: Revise/Change 2D.5 Track Combined Competition to 2D.5 Overall Track Ranking [ Revision 11 ]
Committee: TrackSubmitted on 2023-08-15
Status: Passed on March 12, 2024
Background
In discussion 3 it was suggested to delete the combined competition section completely or at least not allow it on Unicons. During the discussion, however, it turned out that there still needs to be a combined ranking that is comparable across different competitions, which is the Track Combined Competition.
However, as many events deviate from this by creating an event-specific overall ranking, this variant should also be included in the rules - also to emphasise that this is not a combined competition in the narrower sense (such as the pentathlon or decathlon in athletics), but an overall ranking that can differ from event to event and is therefore event-specific.
Proposal
Revision of the Rule: (As PDF Version with changes highlighted)
Old Rule:
2D.5 Track Combined Competition
The best finishers combined from the 6 racing events listed above will win this title. Points are assigned for placement in each of the above races, based upon best times in the fi nal heats. In smaller events, the finishing age group times in the IUF Slalom can be used if no additional final is run. 1st place gets 8, 2nd place 5, 3rd place 3, 4th place 2, and 5th place 1. Highest total points score is the World Champion; one each for male and female. If there is a tie, the rider with the most fi rst places wins. If this still results in a tie, the title goes to the better finisher in the 100m race. Points are not earned in age group heats.
New Rule:
2D.5 Cross-Discipline Rankings
1. The Cross-Discipline Rankings are optional rankings to determine the best riders across multiple disciplines. A distinction is made between the Track Combined Competition with fixed disciplines, on the basis of which championship titles can be awarded, and the Overall Track Ranking, which can honor event-related Overall Winners.
2D.5.1 Track Combined Competition
1. The best finishers combined from 100 m, 400 m, 800 m, One Foot, Wheel Walk and IUF Slalom will win this title.
2. Placement points are assigned for a placement in each of the above disciplines, based upon finals/final rankings. The following system is used: 1st place gets 8, 2nd place 5, 3rd place 3, 4th place 2, and 5th place 1 point. Highest total points score is the Track Combined Champion; one each for male and female.
3. If there is a tie, the rider with the most fi rst places wins. If this still results in a tie, the title goes to the better finisher in the 100 m race.
2D.5.2 Event-specific Overall Ranking
1. It is up to the organizers to determine from which disciplines placement points will be awarded for the Event-specific Overall Ranking.
Note: The winner of this Event-specific Overall Ranking could be called for example the "Overall Winner of XY Cup".
2. Placement points are assigned in the individual disciplines. Usually the following system is used: 1st place gets 8, 2nd place 5, 3rd place 3, 4th place 2, and 5th place 1 point. Highest total points score is the winner of the Event-specific Overall Ranking. Male and female should always be separated. There are two different ways of determining an overall ranking:
1.1 As an age group combined overall ranking, points will be awarded for placements in the finals/final rankings, no points will be awarded in the age group rankings.
1.2 As an age group separated overall ranking, points will be awarded for placements in the corresponding age group, no points will be awarded in the final races/final rankings.
3. If there is a tie, the rider with the most first places wins. If this still results in a tie, the title goes to the better finisher in the 100m race or, if this race is not part of the disciplines, it should go to the better finisher of the next longer standard track race (according to 2B.2.2 - 2B.2.4). If there is no standard track race longer than 100 m, the organizers can use another predefined discipline as tiebreaker.
4. The choice of disciplines, the system to assign placement points and the tiebreaker discipline should be published at the same time as the registration form or earlier.
