With the reintroduction of combined Premier / Division 1, there has been some confusion over the eligibility of those paddling different boats in the different divisions for organised and free practise.
A similar issue arises for veterans, being compared against a division with limited practice.
This motion has the effect that where an athlete completes in Premier in 1 class (no practice), and Canoe in Division 1 (or vice versa) they can take their official practice in the canoe, but not take any free practice in either boat.
A similar issue arises for veterans, being compared against a division with limited practice. Here if the veteran’s run is to be compared with Premier runs, it should be under the same conditions of practice.
9.7 TRAINING
9.7.8 UK Where a competitor competes in more than one event, they may take any organised practice runs that are available for the class. If free practice is not available for one of the classes, they may not do free practice for either event.
9.7.9 UK Those competing in the veterans class are restricted by the practice rules for the highest ranking division to which they are being compared.
