Age for 2021 is simple same as its always been, we shouldn't be extending the the age range due to poor decision on extending the season by a year, if someone was last year U16 2020 they will be U18 in 2021 that should remain - what a mess we are now in with extending the season!!! We seem to try to...

Feels like the problem stems from abandoning the season but letting those (1) that got promoted keep it - so perhaps the problem is 'perception' of some gains; but the season was abandoned & ranking stays the same as it is now into 2021 - that paddler was promoted & therefore ranked in higher divisi...

Sounds like a good idea to me Steve, may even take this further to include div1 points too - why not!

I am considering to propose at the next ACM that Paddle Up results get calculated as if they are racing in the Class they have entered. So if there are 60 entries, Plus 1 PU and the PU finishes 30th. The Paddle Up will get 30th place points and the home division paddler that finishes 30th would get...

Well said Les!!!

We need a like button

The motivation behind this change should be understood. Clearly if its safety then it's not an argument, perhaps the club putting in the proposal can clarify please?

I cant understand whats wring with the current enhanced entry?

If it was that necessary to raise fee's by so much then surely more clubs would use the enhanced option? so use it next year & see what happens!

Seems like this post is mainly moaning about stuff, i dont see any credible proposals.....come on, ideas for change not just a moan!!!

Put some motions in if you want change, i'm sure people will support them, if not they will debate them & they can evolve

J14 C1M promoted to Prem this year - if you have the skills you can get promoted!

You old git - lol

Simplicity could be.... 1. Put vets into divisions. 2. Let them paddle in any division either paddle up/paddle down/ paddle correct div. 3. Promote/demote as current divisions 3. winner of each division at end of season This allows divisions for ability but doesn't constrain with limited number of p...

Master data for paddler is on the ranking data base, so my opinion is that all other data relating to paddler (including sponsor) goes there as

Wherever it is then local paddlers will have an advantage. The same is true of Tees as of Lee Valley. Those local to Tees will have the advantage; those with a 10hr round trip will probably never have been there. In practice, even those J12/J14s local-ish to Lee Valley mostly do their regular paddl...

However, as things stand at the moment I have scratch C2s entering as paddle-ups in anything other than Open. The effect of this is that scratch C2s entering a div 3, div 2, div 3/4 or div 2/3 competition will go onto a waiting list (if they try to enter more than 4weeks before). I think that this ...

Why is this motion being proposed, its it that the PU & vet get equivalent to the lower paddler rather than mid way?

Its seems rather complicated, im keen to understand what is trying to be fixed
