Just i heads up, i have heard that the race has been cancelled. I dont know if this is official but it is highly likely....


I advise people not to travel up until there is official confirmation.

It isnt just youngsters, everyone is guilty of it. To be honest from my experience it is the lower end paddler, where the problem lyes. This is probably because inexperience not due to rudeness. i think it should be brought into coaching. When they first start out they need to be taught the etiquet...

The event was well run and i loved the course as a paddler at the top of div1. but i still think the course was not appropriate for the lower end of div 1 and division 2 paddlers, i throughly enjoyed the event but maybe for next year we should have the div 1/2 on the sat then just maybe have a div ...

After a excellent days racing at the national water sports center today, well run organized event so far, the course was doable by all divisions some smuggled but thats how the cookie crumbles! Then the sunday course was set, the gates were set in ridicules places, that a div 2 paddler would not be...

Its a good point Dee. Diqualification would destroy the sport. some point are better than non and people would not pay the money if there is a chance of a 50! the sport is to expensive to get diqualified for a mistake! Say Peter you drive all the way to tully in that expensive car of your! You pay ...

Yer i agree heather! if you know you are going to come ls that isnt a problem! everyone need to get experience on bigger river at some point and i think at a race is perfect cause you have gate to aim for and have safety at bottow as well!

I agree with cat about that a paddler shouldn't be above another paddler that hasnt got 50's if they have got 50's. but i dont think you can just shove them to the bottom of the list just cause they have a 50 by mistake. If the this person get lots of 50's on both runs cause the couldnt be bothered...
