<h2>What Part 6bis governs</h2>
<p>The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Regulations are divided into <strong>seventeen numbered parts</strong>, which sit alongside the Constitution and the Code of Ethics. Each article carries its own three-part number — such as 6.1.001 — the first figure of which is the number of the part itself. This document is <strong>Part 6bis</strong> of that body of regulations.</p><p>BMX Freestyle: preliminary provisions, categories and licences, the calendar and the organisation of events, clothing and equipment, the conduct of participants and penalties, and the competitions themselves.</p>

<h2>Principal changes in this edition<span class="reg-tag">Changes from the edition of 8 February 2021</span></h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Criteria for registering an event on the calendar</b>A new article states that the UCI's assessment of whether an event is to be registered on the international calendar rests on <strong>legitimate objectives</strong> — criteria the list of which is not exhaustive. This provision gives calendar registration decisions a reviewable framework.</li>
<li><b class="t">Extent of the changes</b>It is a short part and its changes are limited: one new article, two deleted articles and 11 rewritten articles.</li>
<li><b class="t">Separation from BMX Racing</b>Freestyle forms the separate Part "6bis", and the BMX Racing rules (Part 6) do not apply to it save by express reference.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For organisers applying to register a Freestyle event on the UCI calendar, the express statement of "legitimate objectives" as the basis of the decision makes the prospect of challenging a refusal more tangible.</p>

<h2>What Part 6 governs</h2>
<p>The UCI Cycling Regulations are divided into <strong>seventeen numbered parts</strong>, which sit alongside the Constitution and the Code of Ethics. Each article carries its own three-part number — such as 6.1.001 — the first digit of which is the number of the part itself. This document is <strong>Part 6</strong> of that body of regulations.</p><p>BMX Racing: general rules, the international calendar, international events, the Supercross World Cup, the World Challenge and the rankings.</p>

<h2>Key changes in this edition<span class="reg-tag">Changes from the edition of 1 January 2021</span></h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Online registration and rider confirmation</b>A new article formalises the registration procedure: the opening and closing dates of the online registration system are published on the UCI website, and <strong>all team managers are required to attend the rider confirmation meeting</strong>, to present licences and to collect accreditation, number plates and other items.</li>
<li><b class="t">Exclusive UCI authority over regional games</b>A new article provides that, on the weekend of a registered national BMX championship, <strong>no other event</strong> may be registered on the international calendar or overlap with it, and that final and exclusive authority over regional games rests with the UCI.</li>
<li><b class="t">Reduction in the number of articles</b>23 articles have been deleted and only 2 new articles added; the text has been condensed and 110 articles rewritten.</li>
<li><b class="t">Title of the discipline</b>The title of the part has changed from "BMX" to <strong>"BMX Racing"</strong>, to distinguish it from BMX Freestyle, which is Part 6 bis.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For national federations, the calendar-overlap rule has practical significance: the date of a registered national championship closes that same weekend on the international calendar. For teams, the attendance of the manager at the rider confirmation meeting is no longer a matter of practice but a regulatory obligation.</p>
