Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Can someone point in the direction of the rules or guidance on paddlers entering officials, in addition to another race in a competition (eg K1 officials as they are above the division of the race; and C1 in ranking event). I know it’s flagged in the entry system - but I’d like to know what the actu...

Dee, you are an absolute star! Managing the div 4 promotions in canoeslalomentries is a breeze No idea how you did it - but thank you!!

Our site also doesn’t have an exact postcode - the nearest one sends you to the wrong side of the river.

We were using the sponsor field to collect other info - (not actual sponsors) - the school name for the schools competition. I could see it in the file that was exported to simply slalom - but not when uploaded. So it’s not really a sponsorship issue per se (makes sense to avoid random entries in th...

I see that Dee is doing some work on online entries over winter and thought it might be timely share my reflections of using it organising Div3/4 competitions. It has be great to use and fantastic as an organiser (and a parent entering paddlers). Things that I really value so please keep - Colour co...
