Points at mixed division events At mixed division events competitors will race as a single division. For example at a division 2/3 event all paddlers will race as a single division achieving points from 0 to 500. This means that a division 3 paddler will not beat a division 2 paddler without points ...

Points At the last ACM it was decided to change the upper limit of points for each division. I am now proposing that it would be a good idea to also change the lower limit. The reasons behind my thinking are this… • In Veterans division, competitors achieving 250 points at division 3 are beating com...

Such sad news. Love and thoughts to all his family.

Just thought of another problem when calculating points in Div 2/3 VETS - with the old system and new proposals. It is possible (even likely for borderline paddlers like me) for a Div 3 VET to get more points in the ranking league than a Div 2 VET. Could there be some floor so coming last in a div 2...

Just a thought which I haven't spent any time at all thinking through… Could there be a minimum points value? So at a div 3 you will get between 1 to 250 points. At a Div2 points between 200 if you are last to 500 if you win etc. With more end of season demotions too. For example, you'd be demoted i...

As the newby to the Vets Club and haven't yet done my first race, I'm not really qualified to comment - but I will nevertheless! I made the decision to go VET a couple of weeks ago because I have come last (or second to last) at every event this year - which does get a bit demoralising after a while...

Hi Sal,
Have you still got your boat for sale?

Clare's boat has been stolen from the car park in Matlock. Its a blue Galasport Toreto- with a repaired tail and Pingu sticker. I'm not sure what the serial number is, but it was made in 2007. We think it was stolen during the day today, but not 100% sure. There's every chance the padlock is still a...

Thanks for all your entries. It looks like the sun will be shining on us again! There is still space, so if you want to enter on the day, please come along. Andy has set a good challenging course for the div 2's with easier options for the div 3's and me! The level is fairly low and should stay rou...

This is all well and good for the current P/1 paddlers, but what about the girls who get promoted from div 2 later in the season. Only to be able to do 3 races in div 1 before having to go to Prem races seems pretty cruel! Would a better solution not be like in 5.17 P/1 Vets motion - dividing by 1....

I keep looking to see if a 2010 Masters League has been posted. The ACM rule change last year stated that the winners of each Masters age band would be announced at the end of the season, but I haven't seen anything yet - have I missed it?. I thought it might feature at the Oscars, but there were o...

James if you want to run a Div 4 ranking list - go for it! I offered to do the Officials Ranking List! Silly me! As Nick says, it is very hard to manage! They would love it though, if you have the time. My kids were going through the system when there was a div 4 ranking on the website and it reall...
