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.
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.
