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

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.
