A strict reading of Rule C22.1.1 (page 81) would allow division 1 to 4 events to be run with no provision for practice runs. This was not the intent of the rule, so the rule should beamended as below:
UK C22.1.1 At Selection & Premier events there will be no training runs. At Division 1 to 4 at least one run must be available, additional training runs are permitted at the Organiser’s discretion.
This motion will initially be handled under 75/25 arrangements

Original rule allowed clubs to say no practice, even if teh course changed (mentioning no club names...) This tries to say you must have at least one.

If this comes in has anyone checked that the timing team are willing to stay til around 7 on a sunday evening? Div 1/2 races run under timing team rules and if practice is a must then well attended events will either be starting at 6 for 1st practice runs (which means no late entries after 6am and all saftey must be in place for this time) or finishing stupidly late. If we have to start or finish at either of these times then find someone else to run my races please.
I definitely object to this rule then. I think that it will result one or two races being cancelled per year, or finishing very late into the night, unlesd there is a rule that stipulates that only one run can count then we can all go home early!
Joking aside at abbey in September we would have had to start official practice before 7am in order to finish no too long after 5pm. Our intention was that div 2 paddlers could take free practice on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, but water conditions changed and the originally planned course needed a complete rethink along with some very brisk adjustments! This rule would take any thinking away from event organisers and would lead to exceptionally long adyas if anything happens. Does everyone need to be allocated an official practice time?
