Typos in the Yearbook

B SLALOM RANKING COMPETITION

Page 57 rule 4.2 and page 58 rule 5.1

Last paragraph should read - In the case of Division 4, where a competitor's score would have gained promotion in the corresponding K1Men's event, including ties as in 4.1.
This applies to both quorate and inquorate classes.

5.5, Page 59

Where a Canadian Men's Singles class is inquorate, points are obtained by dividing the score by 1.08, then comparing this to the Men's Kayak event ... dividing the resulting score by ten and rounding up if required.

The yearbook incorrectly gives the factor as 1.2, and this is reflected in some early season results. Those results will now be honoured, but from 13/4/10 onwards the 1.08 factor will apply.

CALENDAR

Oct 23/24 Serpent's Tail
Dave Bradshaw's postcode should be SK3 9BY, not SX3 9BY.

Don't wait for your promotion certificate - it may take some time, and you'll want to get on with racing in your new division.

Send to the Bib Officer for your new division:
- Your old bib
- A note requesting promotion. List your qualifying points and where you got them.
- A large, strong stamped, addressed envelope with at least "large letter" postage on
- A copy of the bib application form, filled in

And PLEASE make sure you put enough postage on!

Why Do You Do Slalom?

A lot more respondents picked either "I just enjoy the challenge" or "I don't expect to win...." than any other reason. "I want to be champion..." is popular, too (almost 24%) and, as you'd expect, more Prems have that ambition - some 54%. MORE>

If You're Emailing Jim Croft ...

...put something in the subject line. He's been getting spam that pretends to come from paddlers, and as a precaution he'll delete your email if there's no subject.

Jury Reports

Please use the new Jury Report Form 2010, which has been altered from previous report forms. I am still getting organisers sending old report forms which do not contain the information useful to future planning of slaloms.

Get Your Bib!

This year you have a choice of two bib application forms. One is a form to be filled on on-screen and then printed, to be posted with your membership card, envelope and cheque or voucher. The other is a PDF to be filled by hand. Please don't use the PDF unless you are sure we will be able to read your handwriting!

And please make sure you put enough postage on. Even the application might be a "large letter".

A tip: Send an A4-size envelope for your bib. DON'T send a C5 (A5 size) one -  the extra fold makes the bib too fat for a "large letter" stamp.

Not sure of your age group?

Or you'd like to have a shot at another class, or you're just a good paddler who's never got into slalom, here's a form to make applying for reinstatement/ ranking easy. Paddlers from other countries also welcome.
