To keep the performing environment clean and provide maximum room for spectators, unicycles and luggage may not be brought into the gym. The gym has space for approximately 1000 spectators, which is why only registered participants of Unicon16 are being allowed to watch.
The enterance for spectators is opposite the Infopoint and marked with the sign “Freestyle Visitors”. You can leave your Unicycle at our Unicycle parkingspace next to the Infowall.

Competitors:
We have allowed a generous time to fit the scheduled performances and judging time. This should allow enough time to warm up for each age group.There are 10 changing rooms for the competitors.
There is a entrance for Competitors on ground floor under the Visitor-Entrance marked with “Freestyle Competitors”

Music:
Please send in your music by May 30th, 2012. It is also good to bring a spare cd with you at the competition, but we need your music files so we can organize playlists and have no music delays.We prefer MP3 files, but we can probably work with other formats. The file size limit for gmail is 25 MB, which is more than enough. If your file is too large, reduce the bitrate. 128 kbps will sound just as good in the gym as 256! If you need music help, contact jfoss at unicycling.com.
Your music must be labeled so we know what it’s for. We need to know your StartNumber, event, age/performing group and your name. Please use the following format to name your music file: 1275_Ind_u15_John_Foss.mp3
That shows my StartNumber, the event I’m entering (Individual Freestyle), my age group, first name, last name.

We need judges, both experienced and new. Now is a great time to learn about Freestyle judging, and workshops will be offered. Judges with previous experience must also attend the judging workshops to judge at Unicon16. Come and represent the sport by helping to ensure a fair and accurate result, and to spread Freestyle back to your local riding home.Group Freestyle
