Out of curiosity I thought I'd look at the percentages of competitors that enter online via www.canoeslalomentries.co.uk
PREM: number competed: 932, percentage pre-entered: 99%, percentage entered online: 99%
DIV1: number competed: 486, percentage pre-entered: 100%, percentage entered online: 99%
DIV2: number competed: 609, percentage pre-entered: 93%, percentage entered online: 88%
DIV3: number competed: 307, percentage pre-entered: 73%, percentage entered online: 67%
C2: number competed: 56, percentage pre-entered: 39%, percentage entered online: 39%
'VET: number competed: 82, percentage pre-entered: 88%, percentage entered online: 87%
Notes:
- I have only looked at ranked paddlers whose results have been added to ranking database.
- I have only looked at races which were open to online entries and which have had their results uploaded.
- I've ignored paddlers that entered and did not appear on the results.
- percentage entered online is the percentage of competitors that had a result and entered and paid online.
- percentage pre-entered includes postal entries that were uploaded to canoeslalomentries by the organiser
- I can't easily do div 4s/officials as their results do not end up on the ranking database
but I am surprised at how high the overall percentage of Div 3s pre-entering is. Is this normal at other div 3 comps (ie those without online entries)? A sign of the times or the impact of entries being available online?
