how many entries per person/user account?

Sounds like a couple of clubs are keen to use so positive so far, so keeping positive perhaps ask clubs doing D4 to communicate at their events to maintain momentum. Also is there someone who can communicate to clubs through other methods than chatter to see the uptake of this I'd like to see things...

Thanks Dee

Tully has a waiting list for paddle ups, Cardiff has paddle ups in the entry list which is filling up

Is this correct? if so then Prem paddlers may need to enter before its full

Is there a new bib application form for 2018 & when should we be sending off requests.

Please note - its not that i'm looking to send off yet, its more i notice that the Shepperton race entry opens 4th Jan (as per the slalom entry site) so was wondering about bibs

So, if you allowed a percentage of the class (decided at the start of the year based on those ranked in the class) through to a final this would look like this

15% K1M 15, K1W 9, C1M 7 and C1W 5
20% K1M 20, K1W 12, C1M 9 and C1W 6
25% K1M 25, K1W 15, C1M 12 and C1W 8

Sounds positive CP.

Although i fear that with 2/3 of the vote required its never going to get passed - perhaps that the thing with democracy ....... its not actually democratic at all which i feel is the whole point of this change

If its going to get merit then it feels like Point 1 & point 3 should be together - something like, if its before 5 days & the entry can be replaced.

Sensible suggestion with facts backing up the thinking

Is there still a reduced fee for entering a single day with a 2nd class at any division & would this thinking be proposed to be rolled out there too?

One thing i missed when posting this thread is what is the problem that needs to be fixed...... I believe the problem with the championship format is: guaranteed 2 days racing vs no guarantee Where paddlers are coming through form div1 and used to 2 runs they then go to championship & probably dont ...

Hardly a parade Nick.

I noticed the proposal for the up coming event at the graveyard.........there's no mention of qualifying by age group (or that i can see), in Europe they race by age group & whilst i'm not proposing changing the whole format it might make sense for certain number of S, U23, U18, U16, U14 to qualify ...

Blimy! what a lot of posts & opinions - but i don't get it........... :?: I felt the original post was all about Prems getting priory over Paddle Ups (not Pups by the way!) - the current system does this, you simply need to enter the race more than 4 weeks before the race. The rules are simple & the...

At the AGM last year it was proposed & agreed that C1 promotion points should be in line with K1, the impact of this is that paddlers need to win a number of races to get proposed rather than say 2 x 2nd place finishes which was seen in D1 in 2016, the problem is that so many paddlers now are compet...

If you are in Div 1 at the Start of the season then you can send all your entries in in February and thats it sorted. . I'm sure a lot of Div 1 paddlers do what you say above - but anyone can enter as paddle up at start of season - so if you anticipate getting promoted mid season then enter as padd...
