Wheel Sizes for racing at the 1995 NUC

[stephen cernkovich]

Since some folks apparently didn't receive the corrected message on wheel size
rules for the 1995 NUC I sent out in early Feburary, here it is again. I am
sorry for the confusion, but the rules were not as clear as they could have been
on this matter. However, I appreciate Andy and Constance Cotter and John Foss
for helping me clarify this matter. Please let me know if there is still
confusion.

Here's a rules correction from Steve Cernkovich for the previously posted
information on the 1995 National Unicycling Convention.

Mark-- You are correct. The 100m Open is an exception to the 24" maximun wheel
size for racing events. In this event, any kind of unicycle with any size wheel
may be used. Thanks for reminding me to clarify this. Steve
