6.13 General ICF Rule Changes 75/25

Post by Canadian Paddler » Sun Nov 14, 2021 5:07 pm

There were some rule changes adopted by the ICF for the 2019 Rule book. In the midst of covid, these rule changes were not picked up and reviewed for adoption into the GB Rules. There are more changes being introduced for the 2022 season.
The majority of these changes are to clarify wording, or to make the terminology more universal (kayak roll instead of eskimo roll for example). As such these should be adopted in the interest of keeping the ICF and UK rules from drifting apart unnecessarily.
The rule changes are summarised below, and can be reviewed in detail in the document “2021 BC Rules”.
Bring the ICF and BC rules back in line as published. Summarized below

10.19.2 The intent of the ICF rule is that the better ranked athlete is after the worse ranked. The translation from higher ICF ranked to higher bib was incorrect. Should be lower bib number (= higher ranked) 2019
11.2.1 Refers to Article 41 - no such article exists. ICF rule refers to appeal to ICF Directors. This process is not in the UK Rules so the last sentence is deleted.

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
