Amend other B2.2 so enter as non ranked if beat more than 40% promote otherwise apply Plus C3.1.6
The normal entry route into slalom is the “apprenticeship” route through promotion upwards from Division 4. This route is the preferred one for young paddlers and those with little moving-water experience, and should remain in place.
However, it can be a tedious option for paddlers who are already capable and may deter them from taking up slalom. This is especially true for 2012, when we hope to see a surge of paddlers inspired by the Olympic Games: the typical Div 4 race is just too remote from the exciting picture the Games will give.
When, some years ago, we introduced an option of direct entry to Division 3, the novice division was Div 5 and Div 3 races were further “up the tree”.
B3.3.2 Direct Entry
The normal entry route into slalom is upwards, through promotion, from Division 4, and is most suitable for young paddlers and those with little moving-water experience. However, for paddlers who are already capable, direct entry into a higher division better suited to their paddling ability may be appropriate.
Paddlers not already ranked in canoe slalom may enter a Division 2 race in the appropriate class. Provided that the class is quorate and they achieve a result better than that achieved by 40% of the ranked paddlers competing in that class, they may then claim immediate ranking in Division 2

This would reduce some of the load on ranking officer.
Paddle at a division and beat 40% - you are ther, no need to do more than apply for the bib with a copy of the results
Beat 39% - apply to ranking officer saying why
Beat 10% - think again

All spelling errors are intentional and are there to show new and improved ways of spelling old words. Grammatical errors are due to too many English classes/teachers.
Old. Fat. Slow. Bad tempered. And those are my good points

This is just another rule to add to the confusion with the current ranking rules.
There is nothing wrong with the current system, And as ranking officer I have never complained of the work load involved.
Between most organisers, ranking officers and myself we try and make it as easy as possible to get pallers into the ranking system with, I believe, a high success rate.
