Director's Update

Last Updated July 15, 2024

Dear Jumps Competitors,

You may receive this email several times if you are signed up to multiple jumps competitions. It is only necessary to read through once.

Welcome to Bemidji! Hope you all had a good start to Unicon. Please read this email carefully as it contains important information about both Platform and Track Jumps competitions.

Please look carefully at the schedule and make sure you arrive on time to complete your jump attempt. You may have conflicting events on the day of your jump competitions. Please plan accordingly. On both platform and track day you can arrive between 10:00 and 16:45 to complete your attempts. ANYONE ARRIVING LATER THAN 16:45 WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THEIR ATTEMPT.

It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the rules. Please read through section 13B in the rulebook on page 212. You can find the rulebook here https://unicycling.org/files/iuf-rulebook-2019.pdf . Pay attention to the height and distance increments. During prelims both long jump competitions will advance in 5 centimeters increments. Track high jump will increase at least by 2 centimeters every attempt and platform high jump will increase at least by half a pallet. For tie-breakers and finals competitors decide the increments (no less than whole centimeters).

Make sure you bring the required safety gear. For any long jump competition bring helmet and knee pads, as well as gloves for track long jump. For any high jump competition bring helmet and shoes. Knee pads and shin guards are strongly recommended.

See you on the 16th and 19th for the Jumps competitions. Good luck!

Best,

Emma Kvist and Thomas Ravet

Jumps Director and Jumps Co-Director
