The results posted on the slalom web site for the 2013 British open included the points with NR against the international paddlers, so it was not a problem last year. Not including points in the results is not the usual method.

This is just another rule to add to the confusion with the current ranking rules. There is nothing wrong with the current system, And as ranking officer I have never complained of the work load involved. Between most organisers, ranking officers and myself we try and make it as easy as possible to ...

The current rules cover all eventualities but are not easy to follow and easier to misinterpretate. An ammendment to the rules was discussed at an ACM in recent years but thown out due to lack of understanding of the current rules. A new proposal has been produced and will be on the agenda to clari...

The ranking officers will not be able to confirm the results until they recieve the entry cards and check them for acuracy. If an organiser is not getting the results to nick in a timley fashion what chance do the ranking officers have of getting the cards. Another issue is unranked paddlers taking...

Competitors promoted during the season have always granted short season in rule 3.1. The addition for re ranked padders was to provide short season status for paddlers that applied for ranking late in the season to encorage more paddlers to participate with out the risk of demotion. This was added ...

My grand daughter has mislaid a peak kag deck in the changing room at the Tryweryn prem on 25th april, It is Extra Small, red and grey similar to the welsh squad colours, with KW on the tag inside. I assume it has been picked up by mistake as it is ...
