Re: Improving Canoe Slalom
It was the 'no beard' appeal! Now as to my beard doing C2 or even C1 - would certainly be a much lighter paddler!

Re: Improving Canoe Slalom
Copied from a 2009 posting of mine as I believe it still holds. "I think the idea of video for appeals is a non-starter, for all but the highest levels, purely on the grounds of cost and practicability. Whilst I have no doubt the technology could be/already has been developed, the simple numbers mak...

Come and try SE Wales first (we believe) slalom venue. This is the second year the event has been held and promises to be much bigger (and better of course) than last year's. We have the rain dances well planned, to top up the river ready for the weekend, but have ordered two gloriously sunny days ...

I saw several calls that were questionable in the looping pool area depending on which sector/gate judges were on duty at the time and how they interpreted the penalties, which is what you would expect from different views, I probably had the best view of the gate in question bearing in mind the we...

I think the idea of video for appeals is a non-starter, for all but the highest levels, purely on the grounds of cost and practicability. Whilst I have no doubt the technology could be/already has been developed, the simple numbers make it all, in terms of cost and manpower, prohibitively expensive...

I too was surprised to be regarded as veteran when I started (42). I remember suggesting a 'Novice Vets' category be established. If something like the above goes ahead, then how about separating those who have spent years in the sport from those who are recent starters. The criteria could be based...

I have judged at many Prem events and have never been told there was no practice allowed (except when competing in Pan-Celtic events run alongside a Prem as they are then run under Prem rules). The snag can arise where the number of non prems is low as I will not get on the water by myself. I agree...

Number of paddling judges (NUMBERS BELOW) is always lower on the Sunday compared to the Saturday regardless of whether the Prem event is first or second. This yr there were 2 events with div1 on Sat, prem on Sun: Graveyard Sat 52, Sun 19 Tees Sat 42, Sun 14 and 2 in 2006 Tees Sat 28, Sun 18 Trywery...
