Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Not easy to search rules online at venues with no phone or internet reception, for some reason people seem to expect me to have a yearbook with me (which I generally do) so I have referred to it a few times for rules queries (usually points calculation - I think the app needs internet too?) Hi Jim,...

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd post a quick update to say that the app now also displays the slalom event calendar, where events can also be downloaded to your phone/tablet. Where possible it'll also show start lists, entries and further event information. The data shown in the app is the same of tha...

Hi :D Just a quick update to say that there's now a completely new version of the app, supporting Portable Points, available both on iOS and Android app stores. The old Android app is in the process of being removed from the store. With portable points, the app asks for additional race information i...

In regards to new courses such as LV and Carfiff, when these courses are built (assuming with funding from various sources including canoeing bodies?), are there/should there be terms defined to provide funding (in way of 'free' or lost cost event days) for X number of years for slalom events follow...

Web API? (happy to assist)

The slalom model for entries is tricky when it comes to translating to an online entry system... Unless there's a single payment point (i.e. one account that receives all monies) it becomes very hard to implement and roll out to each club. It would require clubs (as some have already done) to set-up...

Hello

Is it possible to get an updated start list posted for the above event? It seems to be quite an old version and want to check my entry has been received?

Thanks

Hi

In regards to those on the waiting list, do you know if there will be a revised list as to what's there currently?.. This assuming some paddlers have since been promoted and no longer require their place?

Thanks

As previously mentioned it seems there is a particular problem with capacity at division 1 level. The problem I see is a large proportion of division 1 races are on courses that either limit water time or cost considerable outlay to run events on them. As I know costs are an issue organisers face, h...

Sad to hear... always a great end to the year!

Is there any plans for a last minute change of venue at all Dave?

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

I will amend the C2 calculations to allow for a points calculation if the number of participants is met. The C1W rule already applies to calculations.

Cheers

Hello folks, and a happy Easter to you all! :D As part of a project at work and wanting to put something back into to the slalom community, I've had a little time to piece together a mobile app which I hope paddlers may find useful. It's a simple app which calculates race points (or times if not app...

I've a large Sandiline BA for sale if of interest. Not much use, and has the woven (small) logo on the front, not the decals that peal.

Cheers

Now we've the legacy of the Olympics behind us, I was just wondering what the plans for these venues were. It's not a rant, just a thought.... From looking at the provisional calendar I presume the reason that Cardiff/Lee Valley are used infrequently is due to the shear cost of running events there?...

See they have updated the times to say...
