Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Ed Ecclestone was the archetypal back stage supporter. For decades Ed could be fund supporting teams, races individuals, and the sport in its widest sense. Ed was a volunteer, who put in thousands of hours and thousands of pounds without being recognised. In his memory we have a perpetual trophy awa...

Several Questions in one post. So with secretary hat on :roll: Firstly I applaud the organisers in taking the difficult decision to curtail the racing. This is never an easy decision, and is a no win one. Stop early and people complain, try to keep going, but have to keep adjusting the pole heights,...

A small amount of digging and: Saturdays points were on display all day Sunday, so could have been reviewed and challenged then. Disqualified for competition boats do not count in the calculations. Athletes who start but do not not finish should be included (top of page 87), so WC1 should be calcula...

Sorry for the delay in replying. I was at Senior Selection at the time you posted, and only just looked at postings in the Mupper Show If you just type bit.ly/SlalomRules you will get to the right place. Seems like the links expect it to be part of this site! ditto for statutes, just type the bit.ly...

Phew, Just finished updating the ICF Statutes and Rules revision quizzes to reflect the new rules and statutes. These are intended to help the poor people that are studying the (very dry) ICF Rules and Statutes to try to get an ICF qualification. Please try them out, and let me know of the typing er...

Just a couple of things We did not have an 'overall' best trophy and a 'give 2-3' vets trophy last year. We had 'prem/1' and '2-3' vets trophies no overlap. So if the prem/1 winner gets less than the 2/3 winner that is nothing new. It is just egen the divisions combined we got an overall. The 'most ...

So the deadline passed.

Martyn Setchell was nominated again.
One other person expressed an interest, but did not want to stand against Martyn.

So Martyn is relected for another two years. Congratulations Martyn.

Peak are doing the bibs for the World Cup, you could try them.

Sally Atkinson ordered the ranking bibs this year, I will try to get the supplier from her.

It’s that time again, two years have rolled passed and we need to reappoint the Athlete’s Representative. They represent paddlers at the British Canoeing Slalom Committee, and act as a focal point to collect and present the views of paddlers to the committee and to other bodies. As such they are lis...

There was an attempt to ban fins, but this foundered on such issues as 'what is a fin' the rule now states 7.1.5 Rudders are prohibited on all boats. Any object protruding from the hull must be manufactured into the hull mould and be no higher than 20mm and no narrower than 8mm with a minimum radius...

I suspect it is a slip of the coding.

The percentiles appear to divide by the number of entries including the promotees, not just the expected number remaining in the division.

Thanks for all your work Duncan

At the ACM and at the Awards dinner I was asked loads of times what was happening about the Under 23 Championships At the time my answer was 'It is going to Congress this weekend' I have now had confirmation that the change was stopped at ICF Board level so was never put to Congress. The Under 23 Sl...
