ACM Motions - part A of the Rules - comments?

Post by Canadian Paddler » Mon May 02, 2016 8:42 pm

Hopefully this will be a 75/25 motion. Section A of the rules shows that it has been developed over the years. So this ACM I will be proposing to simplify and make the section consistent. Along the lines below (Pretty sure the formatting will not survive this, PM me if you want a copy showing formatting):
A CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITIONS
A1 Ranking Championships
Championships have been established as follows:
Premier K1M The Phillip Hayward Rose Bowl
K1W The Liz Sharman Trophy
C1M The Trustee Savings Bank Trophy
C1W The Ormskirk Trophy
C2 The Streamlyte Trophy
Division 1 K1M The Tony Brown Trophy
K1W The St. Pancras Building Society Trophy
C1M The Jeff Allcock Trophy
C1W TBA
The Competitor at the head of the ranking list for each Premier Division category is the champion for that category in that year.
The Division 1 champion is the Competitor, in each category, highest ranked at end of the season who has been in Division 1 during that year.
A2 British Open Slalom Championships
A competition held at the end of the season, in Senior and Junior categories for Competitors who qualify from Premier and Division 1 and for others invited by the organising committee.
A3 United Kingdom Championships
The UK champion will be the winner of senior selection unless, as specified in the managed calendar each year, that a United Kingdom championship race is to be held. The race will normally be held under a championship race format.
A4 Other Challenge Trophies and Awards
International K1M Albert Kerr Trophy
(highest placed K1M at the World Championships)
Teams Wilkinson Sword
(highest placed International Team)
Premier K1M U23 Slalom Committee Award
K1M J18 The Colin Ralph Trophy
K1M J16 The IBM Trophy
K1W U23 Slalom Committee Trophy
K1W J18 Slalom Committee Trophy
C1W J18 The Colorado Group Trophy
K1W J16 The Cheltenham & Gloucester Building Society Cup
Division 1 K1M J The Peak Award
K1W J The Peak Award
C1M J The Cool Blue Award
C1W J The Cool Blue Award
(highest placed junior newcomers to Division1 in their respective category)
Prem / 1 C1M U23 Slalom Committee Award
C1M J The Simon Warden Trophy
C2 U23 The David Smith Trophy
C2 J The Warrington C.C. Trophy
Veterans The Alan Harwood Trophy
(for the highest placed veteran K1 Man in divisions 2 to 4)
The Sue Trollope Trophy
The highest ranked un funded English Athlete in the relevant event, events cycling each year: K1M, K1W, C1M, C1W, C2.
The Ed Ecclestone Trophy
Awarded to an individual that has put in an exceptional amount of volunteer effort into the sport.
The Ian MacLeod Judging Bowl
Awarded to the overall winner of the Officials competition
The Esther Matthews Bowl
Awarded to the highest placed division
2 or 3 paddler in the Officials competition
A5 Championship Tie Breaker
In the event of a tie on points after the stated number of events in Premier or Division 1, then reference shall be made to the next best result of the tied Competitors or Teams, and so on until the tie is broken. In the event that a tie cannot be resolved in this manner, then the championship will be determined on the total of all (best run) scores at the ranking slaloms which are common to the tied Competitors or Teams.
A7 Other Championship Events
Full rules and eligibility can be supplied by the organisers
A7.1 British Junior (Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16) Championships Open to Competitors whose 12th, 14th, or 16th birthday falls in the year concerned.
A7.2 British Veterans Championships - Open to Competitors whose 35th birthday falls in the year concerned.
A7.3 English Inter-Regional Championships - Open to teams from the English regions whose paddlers are British Canoeing members.

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

Appreciate I have a vested interest :), but I can't see anything for Prem/1 Vets, only 2/3 Vets?

Doesn't need a trophy if there isn't one currently, but would be nice to get some recognition at the end of the season as National Champ as is currently the case.

Paul.

You are right we should add in the Rasdeck trophy. (working from memory, will check that the 'little gry cells' are right on the naming.)

Thanks

No we have an inter-regional championship (team event) and an English Championship (individual event) - see p105 in the yearbook where they ran alongside the P/1 at HPP this year.

Whether these are worthwhile and meaningful is another question.
