With the reintroduction of combined Premier / Division 1, there has been some confusion over the eligibility of those paddling different boats in the different divisions for organised and free practise.
A similar issue arises for veterans, being compared against a division with limited practice.
This motion has the effect that where an athlete completes in Premier in 1 class (no practice), and Canoe in Division 1 (or vice versa) they can take their official practice in the canoe, but not take any free practice in either boat.
A similar issue arises for veterans, being compared against a division with limited practice. Here if the veteran’s run is to be compared with Premier runs, it should be under the same conditions of practice.
