6.4 Multiple Division Races 75/25

[Secretary Man]

The rules currently exclude a competition being run for division 1 and premier on the same day or indeed Division 1 and 2. The committee has posited this motion and the current draft calendar assumes that this will be accepted. This was introduced when the numbers entering these races precluded running both on a weekend. With reduced entries, increased transport costs, and probably increased running costs (especially on pumped sites) it is felt that this should be re-evaluated. This apply for the 2023 and 2024 seasons and will be revaluated for confirmation at the next ACM.

Replace 5.1.1 with:
5.1.1 Competitions may be for single divisions or may be for two divisions.
For double division events
In each event there is a separate race for each division and separate points are awarded.
