At the 2017 ACM, the promotion targets were amended. Part of that motion proposed a further increase for the 2019 season. This motion reflects that proposals

As background information: the effect of this year's small increase in promotion targets appears to have been very marginal.
  • Compared to 2017 there has been a small drop in the proportion of active Div 2 and Div 3 paddlers promoted. This could be simply the effect of some races being lost - there is a similar drop in the proportion of Div 1s promoted to Prem, where proportionately more races were lost but promotion targets were not changed.
  • There are 8 Div 2s and 3 Div 3s whose total scores fall between the old and new promotion targets and who are therefore “held back” by the new targets as at the end of 2018.

As one of the 8 div 2's that appears to have been 'held back', I personally feel that the shortage of big water courses for div 2 is what stopped me getting promotion rather than the increased points requirement. Of course being better in shallow and slow water would have negated that.
