Prem is dead Long live Div 1P
There are 9 Premier Races this year. Just 9. There is no paddle down, only paddle up. PUP At HPP this weekend there are premier paddlers that are not going to be able to race because the slots are taken by pups. An entry was submitted three weeks before the race, so in time for the organiser to acce...

Re: BC in the News
The point about selection at the weekend is a good one. But if the previous contributors points are taken on board would the success of the Lee Valley TID/RTA/SRA/ENTS be reversed if selection had been at HPP? Possibly. The decision to hold all three races at one venue has skewed the results a littl...

Re: BC in the News
There are too many self serving and funded groups that operate on a private members club basis with the public performance program funding. If you start off on a TID you are more likely to be accepted into a funded program. I can think of 4 or 5 young athletes that are out performing squad athletes ...

Re: 6.11 Portable Points
There are 10 div 1's at which there will probably be 3 or 4 paddlers that score around 900 points or more, thereby accruing promotion points. There will also be 9 Prems this year at which a div 1 paddler that is winning races might score promotion points too. So that makes 9 +10 = 19 races at which ...

Re: 6.11 Portable Points
Next season, there may be as many as 52 K1 men promoted to Prem create a division of around 120 Paddlers and over 170 in 2018? Possibly 30 K1 ladies (84 in Prem and then 115 the following year), C1 W 16 Promoted ( 41 then 60) and C1 M 22 promoted (67 then 90) So premier will have more than doubled i...

Re: 6.11 Portable Points
Portable Points looks like it has not been thought through fully and a serious mistake has been made. We need to start thinking about how to put it right for next year.

Re: 6.11 Portable Points
The portable points issue might have a very serious consequence. If you are in div 1, this will give you 20 races from which to gain the promotion points that you need in order to get to Prem. This is instead of the 10 that you have currently. This means that there will be a lot more promoted to Pre...

Re: Div1 2016 - someone may not be able to count
Cool. I am chairman of our club, so nominating should be easy. I will put forward for the ctee and I will also contact Dave Spence and Duncan about being involved in the Portable Points review. That's great feedback. Thanks. I get it for injuries, that's fine, just dont want to lose the older paddle...

Re: Div1 2016 - someone may not be able to count
I don't see the fuss, but your response is laughable, I should have put it up for vote? Seriously?. I will nominate that and a whole bunch of stuff next year. How do I get on the committee by the way? There are better ways to deal with the issues that we have been. div 1 is too big and Prem is too s...

Re: Div1 2016 - someone may not be able to count
They should have put up 30 k1 M from1 to prem to balance the divisions. Then prem races will make money not lose money and div 1 is managable. Another missed opportunity.

Re: Fins on Slalom boats ?
Actually, well positioned fins of the correct size could help with side slide but the effect will be massively undermined if the fins flex in the turn. Plus the fins can cause drag on the way back into the current if you want get across the flow (for double ups), on the big turns in offsets and of c...

Divisional re jig 2015
Now that practically everyone is in Div 1 and there are not enough race runs to go around I was told at the weekend that there may be a divisional re-jig at the end of this year. I was told that there are bunch of lower ranked prems coming down to div 1 and as many as 40 or 50 div 1's going up to pr...
