Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Yes Secretary Man is back, to differentiate Canadian Paddlers inane, self centered moans and complaints from official business.

At the meeting last Wednesday the Slalom Committee agreed end of season promotions as below:

MK1/WK1

• 1 -> P at or above 4,500 points
• 2 -> 1 at or above 2,190 points
• 3 -> 2 at or above 1,000 points

MC1

• 1 -> P at or above 4,200 points
• 2 -> 1 at or above 2,000 points
• 3 -> 2 at or above 900 points

WC1

• 1 -> P at or above 4,000 points
• 2 -> 1 at or above 1,900 points
• 3 -> 2 at or above 800 points

The reduce levels in the Canoe classes reflect the difficulty in getting larger fields, so the faster drop off of points for second (and lower) places.

The minutes have been sent out for the ACM and the committee meeting. If you think you should have received a copy and have not, please contact slalom.secretary@vol.britishcanoeing.org.uk - it may be down to fat fingers typing wrongly, or an out of date email / contact person for your club.

Out of interest....those promoted end of season, I guess will keep their paddle up points and may or may not jump up above those already promoted/raced? Or, will they just be tagged on the bottom for issuing new bibs?

I believe that those promoted end of season will be added to the bottom of the ranking list, ie their paddle up points will have no impact on their bib number. This makes sense as effectively the paddle-up points expired before promotion. However, I believe the new promotees will be placed above those who have not raced in the season - these paddlers would normally be demoted but no demotions this year

OK, makes sense, thank you for clarification.
