What to do if you get promoted

At Division 4 races, one paddler in five is promoted to Division 3 - that is, the top 20% of competitors in each class.

Promotion to Div 2 and beyond goes on points. At every race you get points according to your position, and you count your best results towards your ranking and promotion.

Points are a way of comparing results when there are more competitors on one race than in another. In K1M, the winner gets 1000 points and the other competitors get a "share" of 1000 on a sliding scale according to their place. In K1W and C1, the winner gets 100 points and the others a "share" of 100. In C2, points are calculated by a factored comparison with K1M times
