Div 4 to 3 promotion - help
I wonder if someone can tell me please the rules for promotion to div 3 from div 4
We had a paddler win an event in div 4 k 1 women but promotion was not given as the class was inquiorate - only 4 women and assumed becaue promotion is 1 in 5 this was correct.
Looking at orton div 3 / 4 event ( sorry guys) women's k 1 3 paddled winner was promoted ?
Hope Orton is right but clarification gratefully received

Could be down to one of 3 reasons;
1 Senility on my part.
2 We are alot kinder in the south, probably something to do with only drinking half pints of shandy!
3 Or we have misinterpreted rule UKC5.1 page 68 in the year book. Last bit says "3 Competitors or 3 Teams in Division 4 start in that category"
Have we got this right?

Ah ha! Quite right that man, for div 4 its three but - then my question is - for promotion from Div 4 to Div 3 it says (p56 of handbook B4.1) 1 in 5 competitors (or part thereof if quorate)
So ....?? does the part therefore mean if you have 3 competitors - ie its quorate - you can have 1 promotee?
Me thinks we should use 21st Century English

Explanation coming up.
Quorate
Division 4 - 3 competitors or more. Other divisions - 5 competitors or more.
Promotion in Div 4 K1M, K1W, C1M
1 in 5 (or part thereof if quorate)
i.e. 3 to 5 paddlers 1 promoted, 6 to 10 paddlers 2 promoted, 11 to 20 paddlers 3 promoted.
Plus for K1W and C1M
If any competitors score is equal or better than the last placed promoted K1M they are promoted.
The above applies for inquorate K1W and C1M.
C1W and C2, quorate or inquorate, are worked out on a modified score compared to the last place promoted K1M.
Advert Simply Slalom will do all the calculations for promotion and points for you, including all the modified total lookups, in a fraction of a second.

If it is not on fire, it might be a software problem.

I crawl away in unmitigated shame: not only interfering, but also wrong.
However in my defence I would argue that the change in the Div 4 C1M inquoracy rule was neither debated by nor passed by the ACM: so I suppose I did not notice it!
The problem seems to arise from the section in the ACM Minutes Motion 5.2 headed:
This amendment was debated, and duly adopted nem con. The first part of the motion (ranking on 1,000 points) was duly passed nem con. Amend Section B.4 and B.5 (page 57 ff) as follows:
There was nothing in the Motion about removing the inquoracy provisions from Men’s Div 4 C1, nor do I remember it being debated: the motion was about ranking all classes on 1000 points, which clearly does not involve Div 4 C1M or any other class. But that is what was done in the amendments to B.4 and B.5 mentioned above: the last 2 lines of the 2010 Rule 5.1 were changed.
So we seem to have ended up with a situation where Ladies KI (all Divisions), Ladies’ C1 (all divisions), C2 (all divisions), and C1M (Divisions 3 upwards) are all assumed to be c. 20% slower than KIM, whether or not the class is quorate; but Div 4 C1M have to actually beat the last promoted KIM to get promoted if the class is inquorate.
Also, the arrangement of the Rule in the Handbook is in itself ambiguous. Is ‘Calculating points - Canadian Men Singles (except Div. 4)’ the heading for Rule B5.4 only, or is it the heading for Rules B5.4 and B5.5. If the latter, then the B 5.4 should be moved down 2 lines to sit opposite ‘points will be calculated’.
Colin?
Incidentally the ‘ACM List’ does not seem to be on the web-page any more
