6.11 Late Entry Acceptance 75/25
There is still some confusion over the rules for accepting late entries, particularly where a paddler has just been promoted. The wording below attempts to clarify the position. Page 68ff

UK C11.3 Late entries (made after the closing deadline) will only be accepted
(a) at the discretion of the Organiser,
(b) where there is space on the published timetable and the entry limit has not been reached,
(c) unless the Competitor has been promoted in the previous two weeks, a late entry fee is payable.
The organising club retains the extra charge in each case and may waive the charge at their sole discretion at Divisions 2 and 3 events. There is no late entry charge for Division 4 events. The late entry fees are linked to inflation as in Rule UK C11.6.3.
