Re: Vet getting too many points

I don't think it matters what points we earn compared to the division we race against; I think more than that vets can score points at events they enter. So I know I am not fast enough in div 1 that's why I got demoted to div 2, and now paddle vets giving me the option to go to events with paddlers ...

Re: Vet getting too many points

Those paddlers doing div 3 vets are getting a rough deal, maybe we should take a percentage of all veterans results, say 10 percent and all veterans would benefit instead of a massive 700 or 400 points

Re: Vet getting too many points

Yep I agree, just get the ranking points, same as paddle ups.

Re: 6.6 Carry Points Forward for 2022

So looking at the C1M div 1 class points is not the answer; you need to look at their results compared to the ladies C1 and K1. So they are prem standard in a small class and just struggling to get promoted under the current criteria!!!

Re: 6.10 Entry Fees

Hi
Can you clarify how much goes to British Canoeing and how much goes to the club?
I don’t think many slalom are run with huge profits?

Re: 6.2 Veterans Points (75/25)

If younger paddlers from prem and div 1 were to enter the Vets, this would alter the points a lot.

Re: 6.2 Veterans Points (75/25)

This year we have had an increase of Veterans at lower divisions, I do not think the participation at div 1 and prem is particularly high so these points are just for a few paddlers especially at prem level. I think this also may encourage competitive older paddlers to enters events above there curr...

Re: 6.2 Veterans Points (75/25)

I prefer the current system to Bob proposal; if you paddle div 1 or prem you have the potential to gain more points.
Uplifts of 700 for prem and 400 for div is a bit far fetched!!!

Re: 6.6 Carry Points Forward for 2022

Paddlers that have qualified for U23 and senior selection - quite a lot of div 1 C1’s and 1 div 1 man; surely these paddlers are prem standard!!!!

Re: Veterans - Alternate points

I like these alternative points; as I paddle at div 2, 3 and div 1.
And I accept that if I don’t finish in the results of the division I get zero points.

Re: Abandoning the season?....

I don’t think the season should be abandoned; at the end of the year those paddlers who have done four events results should be divided by four, you then get an average for the four events; then add this onto the result and if enough points for promotion is gained for promotion they should be promot...

Re: 6.1 Veterans Trophies

I think it was previous for the highest rank 2/3 vet man; I think it makes sense to award to the highest vet K1M who has never paddled in Div 1 or Prem; and maybe look at providing a similar trophy for the women???? For example I have just been demoted to div 2, but I have previously paddled in div ...

Re: Promotion and 50's

I recall a div 3 at Windsor, waves were huge, house size. It was hard to know if you went through all the gates as it was so fast. I think I won with a fifty.

Re: Catch ups

If you miss gates making your run time shorter, so not done the course and then catch the paddler in front, if you don’t give way you should be disqualified if you don’t give way!!!!
