6.7 Officials Competition

Post by Secretary Man » Thu Nov 09, 2023 9:38 am

The rules for the Officials Competition are extremely complicated and hard to administer especially when a competitor was promoted from one division to another.
It will still be possible to identify a winner of the Division B award by looking for the highest ranked div 2 paddler. The trouble this year was with the VETs. When looking at a set of results, I put the fast VETs in Div A and the slow VETs in Div B. This isn’t very objective and will be harder if they are all in one list. The same problem will apply to unranked paddlers.

The effect of this motion is to remove the seperation of paddlers into three 'divisions' for the officials competition. Points at an event will be assigned based only on the paddlers position within the results. The paddler that finishes first will get maximum points, the paddler that came second gets second best. Previously the fastest paddler in division 1 or 2 got maximum points, as does the first paddler in divisions 2 and 3.
