Description of disciplines
Hockey
All unicycle hockey games will be in the “Pädagogisches Gymnasium” school at the city center. There will be two separate hockey tournaments:
1. The A-tournament consists of 12 teams. The winner of this tournament
is the official unicycle hockey world champion 2012.
In the preliminary round, there will be 4 groups of 3 teams
each. The best two teams continue to the quarter final. Next, there
will be the semifinals and then the final.
2. The B-tournament is open to all other teams. This tournament is
less competition-oriented and open to all interested riders, no
metter how much experience they have in unicycle hockey. There will
be 24 teams in the B-tournament.
If necessary, the final assignment for either tournament A or B will be done through the organizers.
The winner of tournament B will be placed behind tournament A, being the 13th in the overall result list.
IUF rules apply. The most important rules are summarized here:
- 20” unicycles are recommended. A maximum of 24” is allowed.
- Unicycles must not have sharp or protruding parts anywhere which
might cause injuries. Pedals must be plastic or rubber.
- Tires need to be made for a gym, meaning they may not leave any marks.
- Hockey sticks need to have an even surface or have to be taped so they
don’t leave any marks on the floor.
- The ball used will be a tennis ball.
At the beginning of Unicon, on Saturday from 15:00-17:00, (DAVID, IST DER TERMIN OKAY?) there is a meeting in the hockey gym to which each team should send at least one representative. Also, all players who don't have a team yet should come. Here, the final assignment of players to their teams will be made (especially for the mixed teams). Next, the drawing of the teams into the groups will be made. Finally, all important rules will be discussed.
