You chooose the categories you want to be vet in
B5.1 Eligibility
A Competitor whose 35th birthday is on or before the 31st December in the year in question may elect to become a Veteran in any class, but not necessarily in all the classes they compete in. For example, a Competitor ranked in K1 Men and C1 Men may elect to become a K1 Men Veteran but remain as a Master in C1 Men (See Rule B2.4 for Masters).
Normally the division you were in before
B5.1.1. Any such Competitor must first declare to the Veteran Ranking Compiler his/her date of birth, the highest division reached in the categories concerned and the year in which this was achieved, and current divisional status (if any).
Normally the competitor will be ranked in the Veterans division that corresponds with their previous divisional ranking, however they may apply to the ranking status officer to be placed in an alternative Veterans division. In order to be ranked in Premier/1 the competitor will have at some time been ranked in Division 1.
Promote from 2 to 3 when you get the points. promotion from 2 to P/1 when you get the points and ASK. No auto promotion from 2 to 1 (allows Terry to keep paddling!)
No demotion though - so even as you get older and slower you stay in div 2 (or prem/1) Perhaps we shoudl consider offering p/1 demotion on demand and revieiwing div 2 vets and demoting (the only affect is tehre are more places they can get points!
B5.2 Promotion
Promotion is achieved as follows:
B5.2.1. Division 3 to Division 2
Where a Division 3 registered Veteran Competitor or crew achieves a points total which would have gained promotion (either in season or at the end of season) in the corresponding divisional class, they may apply for re-ranking to the Division 2 Veterans Class.
B5.2.2. Division 2 to Division P/1
Where a Division 2 registered Veteran Competitor or crew achieves a points total which would have gained promotion (either in season or at the end of season) in the corresponding divisional class, they may apply for re-ranking to the Premier/Division1 Veterans Class.
BUT Munchkin you have to be old to be a vet, you (being a lady with no kids) are surely just 25?
All spelling errors are intentional and are there to show new and improved ways of spelling old words. Grammatical errors are due to too many English classes/teachers.
Old. Fat. Slow. Bad tempered. And those are my good points
