=How are promotions calculated=
The Standard promotion times shown in the chart on page D1 in the Canoe Sprint & Marathon Handbook are times when the wind or weather is not affecting the speed of racing, which is the time your coach is quoting.

During a regatta the weather is monitored continually and calculations are made as to what handicap is required to be either added or subtracted from the standard time depending on the condition during the racing. If there is a tail wind giving us a course which is running fast the promotion time is move up by the appropriate number of points, equally if there is a head wind which slows the course down then the promotion times are moved down to allow for this. This is monitored throughout the day and the handicap can change from one set of races to another if the weather changes.

The aim is to gauge paddler's times as if the race had not been wind assisted. As a sport which is affected by the weather we can't have a firm set time for promotions as the weather can have a marked affect on the times achieved.

PhilCaisley: /* Racing up */

=Racing-up=

K1 paddlers are not allowed to race-up in a higher class in a K1 unless requested by a National Coach.

For crew boats, K2/K4/C2/C4, at least 50% of the paddlers in a crew boat must be of the right class. When events are set upin the system, we also detail which Ability or Age classes are entitled to race-up in this event. This allows entries to be made for paddlers who match these racing-up classes.

Paddler of different classes, but in the same 'band' can't race-up in other classes in the same band.

LTB paddlers can race-up in LTA crew-boats.

=Age Classes and Ability Classes=

A special condition applies if a paddler could theoretically enter both Ability Class and Age Class based events in a single Regatta. An example would be an Under 23 paddler wanting to race in both U23 events and Ability Classes.

For K1/C1 races, paddlers can only enter an Ability Class '''or an''' Age Class. They can't mix and match. Whatever the decision the K1/C1 entries have to be consistently either Age Classes or Ability Classes for the whole regatta. This restriction doesn't, however, apply to K2/K4's crew boats.

K1/C1 paddlers have to declare which class they intend to race though for each regatta or for each season. They can't race in both classes in any specific regatta as for timetabling reasons we can't address any potential conflicts that this could cause.

=Events comprising Age Classes and Ability Classes=

If an Event comprises both Ability Classes and Age Classes, e.g. Mens A & B + Mens U23, and a paddler is eligible to enter in both the Ability Classes and Age Class, for an entry to be recognised for that paddler they need to be entered both the Ability Class and Age Class.

=De-duplicate or approved Incomplete or Unconfirmed Entries=

If there are duplicate entries or if you need to accept Unconfirmed or Incomplete entries, use the following link syntax substituting the number at the end of the link with the number for the specific event

https://canoesprint.britishcanoeing.org.uk/admin/events/checkup/4

=Late entries=

Late entries have to be submitted through the Team Leaders' meeting. As you can imagine, when running a regatta with approx 150 different events, we have to have a formal cut-off for entries to allow us to progress the timetabling, which is a complex beast. Entries submitted after the cut-off have the potential to really mess up the timetabling. We do, however, support late entries at the Team Leaders' meeting as we may well have spare lanes for particular events and/or people may scratch from existing events opening up spare lanes. 

The Team Leaders' meeting is held at 8am on the Saturday of each regatta.

Competitions and Events

2018-03-26T20:09:36Z

PhilCaisley: /* Events */

=Competitions=
=Events=

We aim to provide 6 events for each paddler class at each Regatta. Generally, there's not enough time during the weekend to support more than 6 events, particularly when there are potentially heats and finals for each of these events and allowing for an hour's gap between races for paddlers.

==Creating Events==
==Merging Events==
1. The timetable has to be truncated. You can truncate the timetable from import menu.
2. In events setting you just select the event to merge and system automatically rename the event and merge the entries from selected events.
3. Older events are automatically deleted.
4. Edit the event name to be more prettier

Paddler Registration and Transfers

2018-03-26T20:05:46Z

PhilCaisley:

=How do I register a new paddler?=

If the paddler has previously raced Lightnings at National Regattas, amend the existing paddler record. Locate the paddler record using Paddler details | Registered club paddlers and then use the Edit function. Add the relevant new 500m times

If the paddler hasn't previously raced at National Regatta, use the Paddler details | Register new paddler

Newly registered paddler records are reviewed and validated by the person responsible for Paddler Registration. As soon as these have been validated, the paddler will appear on the Entries screen for any Competitions accepting entries.

If a paddler has already achieved a 500m time that puts them in a higher Ability Class than the normal entry classes, e.g. BDK, GDK, MDK, WDK etc, they can be added to their correct Ability Class from the outset, i.e. they don't have to get promoted to that class.

=Is there a cut-off date by when I have to register a new paddler?=

New paddlers can be registered at any time, although there is a Paddler Registration cut-off date for each regatta to allow time to resolve any issues with these registrations.
If I want to transfer an existing paddler to my club, when does this have to be done by?

Paddlers are only allow to race for one club during the racing year. Officially the date by which all transfers between clubs has to take place is the 1st March, which is the same each year. In practise, paddler transfers will be allowed until the entry deadline for the first National Regatta each year.
How do I register an overseas paddler?

=If my club has overseas paddlers who are members of their own national body, but not British Canoeing, can they be registered under my club?=

If your foreign paddlers want to race under your club then they have to be British Canoeing members. If these paddlers' stay is relatively temporary then as visitors they can race under their Bulgarian National Federation club colours but we will need proof of their current membership and written permission from their home National Federation to compete in the UK. If they race under their home club colours then we'd use the Non-UK club short code for them in the programme.
After I register a new paddler, why isn't an Ability Class or Age Class shown against their record?

The following information is required to calculate Ability Classes and Age Classes
 
Ability Classes

Gender
Kayak | Canoe | Kayak and Canoe
Relevant 500m time(s)

Age Classes

Gender
Date of birth
Kayak | Canoe | Kayak and Canoe

Age Classes are calculated based on a Paddler's racing age. This is their age on the 1st of January for the given year.

Ability Classes and Age Classes are calculated automatically when a new paddler record is set up. Ability Classes are validated and confirmed by the person responsible for Paddler Registration. As soon as these have been validated, the paddler will appear on the Entries screen for any Competitions accepting entries.

Clubs

What do I do if I don't have a club affiliation number from my Regional/National Federation?

In these instances, please, just enter 'n/a'. We do however need club affiliation numbers where these exist, as we have to check on an annual basis with British Canoeing the affiliation status of each racing club.

Ability Classes and Age Classes are calculated automatically for new paddler registrations, but will be validated manually.

Ability Classes are based on 500m times and Gender

Age Classes are based on a paddler's date of birth and gender. These are used to calculate a racing age, which is based on what the paddlers age would be as at 1st January each year.

All New Paddler Registrations are reviewed and Ability Classes updated where required.

The system monitors all changes to 500m times, Gender, and Dates of Birth, and presents amended records to the person responsible for Rankings.

How do I register Lightning paddlers who are now fast enough to race Boys D/Girls D or faster?

See How do I register a new paddler? above

What should I do if an existing paddler joins my club from another racing club?

Please, use the Paddler details | Transfer paddler to club function if the paddler record exists. Please, don't use the Paddler details | Register new paddler function unless a paddler record doesn't exist, otherwise we'll end up with duplicate records.

How should I notify you of other changes to Paddler records?

Locate the paddler record using Paddler details | Registered club paddlers and then use the Edit function. Update all relevant fields.

The system monitors all changes to 500m times, Gender, and Dates of Birth, and presents these amended records to the person responsible for Rankings.

What does the â‰¥ 2* competence field mean?

As a Team Leader you need to confirm that any paddlers racing for your club at National Regattas have achieved a level of paddling competence equivalent to, or greater than that described by the British Canoeing 2* award.

Re-ranking requests

How do I request a re-ranking for an existing paddler?

Locate the paddler record using Paddler details | Registered club paddlers and then use the Edit function. Update the relevant 500m times and add a Note. Please, don't delete any Notes that are already present, just add to them. Save

This flags the record up to us for review. We will see the new time and note and make appropriate recommendations for changes to Ability Classes. Re-classifications have to be verified by the SRC before taking affect. You will be notified when this happens.

Age Classes are, however, calculated automatically based on Gender and Date of Birth. If anyone's Date of Birth is changed this paddler will need to be assessed for potential re-ranking.

How do I request a demotion for a paddler?

See above

Paddler records

How can I remove paddlers from my club who are no longer active?

Awaiting new functionality release

We will be introducing functionality in the near future that will allow you to toggle a paddler between an Active and Inactive status. Setting any paddler record to Inactive will remove it from the list of paddlers that you are presented with in the Entries system.

Once this functionality is released, you can locate the paddler record using Paddler details | Registered club paddlers and then use the Edit function. Update the Active/Inactive field as required.

If the paddler is no longer with your club, and you don't want to keep the paddler record associated with your club, we can also transfer the paddler record to a 'storage' club. Just let us know who needs to be transferred.

Going forwards, we won't delete paddler records, as the system will be used to maintain a paddler racing history over time.

What should I do if my paddler has been set up with an incorrect DOB or Gender?

Please, amend the existing paddler record. Locate the paddler record using Paddler details | Registered club paddlers and then use the Edit function.

This will flag up the changes to us. We will then verify the automatically assigned Ability Class and Age Class.

What should I do if I find a duplicate record for a paddler?

Awaiting new functionality release

We will shortly be releasing a 'Merge paddler records' function that will enable multiple records for the same paddler to be combined into a single record. We will let you know once these feature has been released.

Why are you asking for contact details for every paddler?

Actually, we're not. We only need contact details for those paddlers or non-paddlers who are representing their clubs as officials, e.g. Team Leader, Treasurer, Secretary etc. You only need to fill in the fields marked as mandatory. For club officials though, we do need contact details so that we can get in touch when we need to contact you.

Why are you asking for photos for every paddler?

Actually, we're not. This is voluntary. It would be great if as Team Leaders you could add your own photos, so that other Team Leaders know who to speak to at Competitions if they need to contact you. Hopefully, we can provide you with a dynamic and on-demand list of Team Leader names and contact details.

Going forwards though, the regatta results and racing histories, may be made available in the online results system, but without any contact details. It would be good to include photos alongside these results where appropriate.

What do I do if my paddler has Life Membership?

Please, enter an expiry date 100 years from today.

Entries

How do I submit my entries?

You can create and edit the entries for your club up to the date and time that entries close. At this point your draft entry becomes your official entry. You do not need to submit it to us.

How do I know how much to pay?

Awaiting bug fix as currently miscalculating the entry fees

The system will automatically calculate your entry fees and will give you a running total. When entries close, this will become the charge that you need to pay.

How do I pay?

Awaiting bug fix as currently miscalculating the entry fees

We are hoping to provide these details at the bottom of the Our entries screen and Print entries form. Once the above bug has been fixed, we will send you these payment details.

How do I enter a crew boat if one or more paddlers is paddling up a class?

Awaiting new functionality release

Crew boats must include at least one paddler from the club entering the boat. At least 50% of the crew must also be of the correct class. Remaining seats can be filled by other paddlers in the same club paddling up, or by a paddler from the same class, or paddling up, from another specified club

The system is not yet capable of displaying paddlers in the Entries system from other classes who are available to paddle up. We are awaiting a new functionality release to support this. In the short term, please, enter the boat with at least one paddler, and advise us of those paddlers from your own club, or other clubs who might be paddling up. We should be able to add these individuals in to the entry directly in the database.

How do I enter a squad boat as a squad administrator?

We are currently working on a solution for you.

Progressions

2017-05-11T20:18:39Z

PhilCaisley: /* For Paracanoe */

Progressions are applied to the results of Heats to determine which paddlers will progress to the Finals.

Progressions are applied automatically and are determined using a combination of:

* the number of paddlers in each event
* the class of the event

After progressions have been applied, they may subsequently be adjusted based on how business a given regatta is in order to reduce the number of races.

The progressions rules that are applied automatically are as follows:

=For MAK & MBK|WAK & WBK|BAK & BBK|GAK & GBK=

10 to 18 Competitors 1st â€“ 3rd + 3 BT to Final 1. Rest to Final 2

PhilCaisley:

On the Wednesday preceding each Sprint Regatta at Holme Pierrepont, and as part of the regatta set-up procedures, the Timetable and Start List data is loaded into the Timing System (TS) by John Ball.

These files are generated from the Regatta Management System (RMS) using the following links

https://canoesprint.britishcanoeing.org.uk/export/bcu/startlist/n 
https://canoesprint.britishcanoeing.org.uk/export/bcu/timetable-trevor/n

where ''n'' is the number that corresponds to the specific competition within the RMS

When these URLs are pasted into a browser, the corresponding CSV data files are immediately downloaded.

The links for the relevant regatta should be emailed to John Ball on the previous evening.

John then manages the import of these files into the system and runs some basic tests on the files to ensure that they are complete.

These files provide the data that is visible to the Regatta Officials throughout the event and provide the records to which the results are appended.

This same data also feeds the Regatta Results service.

The Start Lists are generated by the Regatta Management System (RMS). These can only be generated after all Entries have been received and a draft Timetable created and uploaded. The generation of the Start Lists is currently a manual process run for us by Matej Kacic.

Once generated, the Start Lists are visible in the Public Area of the RMS website at

https://canoesprint.britishcanoeing.org.uk/

A PDF file of the Start Lists can then be generated on demand from the RMS using the following link

https://canoesprint.britishcanoeing.org.uk/public/default/startlist-print/n

where n is the number that corresponds to the specific competition within the RMS.

When this URL is pasted into a browser, the corresponding PDF file is generated and downloaded.

This file forms part of the Regatta Programme and Regatta Officials' Programme. It is also separately uploaded to the Canoe Sprint website for download by Team Leaders.
