Proposal 2: Deadline for Signing Up [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: Freestyle Development CommitteeSubmitted on 2017-02-12
Status: Passed on March 05, 2017
Background
The current rule doesn't account for injuries or illnesses that happen right before a competition. Also the new rule suggestion accounts for more situations such as changing groups.
Proposal
Old:
7B.5 Deadline for Signing Up
Changing Pairs partners is allowed up to 36 hours prior to the actual competition as long as the category does not change. Adding or subtracting the members of a group routine is allowed up to 36 hours prior to the start of that competition.
New:
7B.5 Deadline for Signing Up
Changing pairs partners is allowed up to 24 hours prior to the actual competition as long as the category does not change. For Group Freestyle, it is recommended to sign up alternates for the routine. In the case of injury or illness, groups with alternates signed up may substitute riders up until the start of the routine. If a group does not have alternates signed up then they must get the permission of the Chief Judge to substitute riders. Adding or subtracting the members of a group routine is allowed up to 24 hours prior to the start of that competition. If a group adds or subtracts riders so that they must change from Large Group to Small Group (or vice versa), this is allowed as long as it doesn't violate the per-country limitations for the competition and it is done at least 24 hours before the event. The Chief Judge must be notified of any changes or substitutions to be made.
