Personal Responsibility

All attendees should remember that they are guests of the convention hosts, and ambassadors of our sport to all new riders, visitors from far away, and to people in the hosting town. Remember that the Host is renting the convention facilities, and attendees are expected to treat them well. Each rider is responsible for the actions of his or her family and non-riding teammates. Riders may lose placement in races, risk disqualification from events, or be ejected from the convention if they do not work to minimize disruptions from these people. The International Unicycling Federation does not support performance enhancing drugs in sport and strives for clean competition.

Supervision of Minors

A parent, guardian or other designated person, must supervise all minors.

Knowing The Rules

Lack of understanding of rules will be at the disadvantage of riders, not officials or the IUF. The IUF is also not responsible for any errors that may occur in the translation of rules and information into languages other than those in which they were originally written.

Your Privilege

Entry in the competition is your privilege, not your right. You are a guest at the Host’s event. You may be in an unfamiliar country, with different customs that are considered the norm. The Host and convention officials determine whether certain events, age groups, or policies will be used. As an attendee, you are obligated to obey all rules and decisions of convention officials and hosts.

Nations Represented

For events where the number of participants is limited by country, there may be some question of what country a rider, pair or group may represent. Riders must represent the country in which they hold citizenship, or in which they are a legal resident. For example, if a rider is attending school in a different country, and is in that country legally, the rider can either represent that country or the rider’s home country.

If necessary, citizenship or residence may be established with a passport, driver’s license, or legal ID for the country the rider wishes to represent. Riders on extended vacation, exchange students, and other temporary residents of other countries are not eligible to represent those countries, except in multi-rider events (see below).

For Pairs Freestyle or other two-person events, the pair can represent any country that either rider is eligible to represent.

For Group Freestyle, sports teams or other multi-rider events, the group must represent the country that the greatest number of the group’s riders is eligible to represent. If there is a tie in this number, the group can represent either of the tied countries.

Transgender Riders

The IUF is committed to providing an open and safe environment for people of all genders. A rider may register with the gender competition category with which the rider identifies most.
