6.8 C2 Ranking

Post by Canadian Paddler » Sat Nov 04, 2017 3:55 pm

6.8 C2 Ranking
Following consultation with those who have an active interest in the C2 event, changes are proposed in order to foster the future of the event in this country. The basics are that
• we will return to a single division for C2s
• registered C2s can enter any event
• Scratch crews (unregistered) would be able to enter lower division races (division 2 and below) on the day should they wish to do so and the event was not already full and entries are still open.
• All ranking points for C2 crews would be calculated by run time comparison against the K1 Men's run times after a 20% adjustment had been applied to the C2 run times across all race divisions.
• The ranking points shown on the ranking database would only indicate points secured by registered C2 crews but ranking points from the last 5 weeks could be claimed retrospectively when a bib application is made
B1.1 Divisions Page 52
The divisional system of five divisions (Premier, 1, 2, 3, and 4) in each of four events (K1M, K1W, C1M, C1W) and one division in the C2 event ensures there is a standard of competition suitable for Competitors of all degrees of ability.…
B2.3 Changing Event Page 54
Any Competitor wishing to compete in another event, must compete in the division below their lowest current ranking, unless it is considered more appropriate for them to compete in a higher division, in which case, application must be made to the Ranking Status Officer.
B2.4 New Competitors
B2.4.1 New competitors, must compete in Division 4.
B2.4.2 New Competitors, or C2 crews, of proven ability may apply for Ranking Status giving full supporting evidence why they should not have to begin in Division 4. Ranking Status must be taken up in the season in which it is granted.
B2.4.3 New C2 Pairings
New C2 crews, of proven ability may apply for Ranking Status. Ranking Status must be taken up in the season in which it is granted
New C2 pairings that have not applied for ranking status may enter any competition at division 2 or below provided they demonstrate their competence to race on the water conditions at the competition. If the organiser refuses entry based on lack of competency then the crew have right of appeal to the competition Chief Judge

B4.1.2 C2 Points Calculation
Ranking points awarded will be those given to the competitor in the corresponding Kayak Men event whose score matches the Competitors modified score; which is calculated by dividing by 1.2 and rounding down to the accuracy of the competition.

B4.2.2 In the case where a Kayak Women's or Canadian event is inquorate, points awarded will be those given to the competitor in the corresponding Kayak Men event whose score matches the Competitors modified score; which is calculated by dividing by the following factor and rounding down to the accuracy of the competition.
Kayak Women Singles. 1.12

B4.3.1 Promotion from Division 4 to Division 3 Page 57
For Division 4 an event is deemed to be quorate if 3 or more competitors start. (See Rule UKC5.1)
All Events: 1 in 5 (or part thereof if quorate)
If an Event is not quorate, then Competitors are promoted if their score would have gained promotion when compared to another quorate event as follows:-
C1M/C2/K1W: if they would have been promoted in the K1M event.
C1W: if they would have been promoted in either the K1W or K1M event.
In all cases where two, or more, paddlers are tied on best run scores for the last promotion place from Division 4 then all such Competitors are promoted.
B5.1 The Divisional System Page 58 NB may be changed by veterans motion
Veterans are ranked in 3 divisions for K1 and C1 (Division 3, Division 2 and Premier/1) and 1 divisions for C2.
B5.2.4 A Veteran C2 crew may enter any competition and will be awarded ranking points and be eligible for prizes.
B5.5.2. Premier/Division 1 Veterans Page 60 NB may be changed by veterans motion

An Amendment was proposed by Brecon CC, seconded by Viking Kayak club to amend the motion so that
Unranked C2 pairings may enter any competition at division 2 or below. Competitors may be required to demonstrate their competence to race on the water conditions at the competition. If the organiser refuses entry based on lack of competency then the crew have right of appeal to the competition Chief Judge
The amendment and motion was accepted, nem con.
