SAS MAP

The most popular freestyle site in the UK again hosts a full weekend of competition and fun. This year we have a team from Kayakojacko and the UK Freestyle Committee organising a joint event of GB Selection and The SAS Hurley Classic. The event enjoys the backing of Software giants SAS and the Environment Agency.
Spectators are more than welcome and there is limited viewing access via the weir.

ADVICE CONFIRMING FINAL DETIALS OF THE EVENT AND CONFIRMATION THAT THE EVENT IS STILL ON WILL BE POSTED On http://www.tvfreestylers.co.uk/ PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE REGULARLY FOR UPDATES.

GB Selection
The event needs to be entered separately and entries will be taken on the day at the Control Point (The Pump House) on the SAS bank. This will be open from 0900 am. Entry to selection will automatically enter you in the Classic at no extra cost. Bibs should be retained for both competitions. Anyone can enter selection but A CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE BCU MEMBERSHIP CARD MUST BE PRESENTED ON THE DAY TO BE CONSIDERED FOR SELECTION

The event will run as 3x 45second rides, best 2 rides added together (dropped rides will be used in the case of a tie – see below).

Paddlers will be given points related to their ranking at each event (the Hurley event is the last of three events)1st place = 30 points, 2nd place = 27 points, 3rd place = 25 points, 4th place = 23 points, 5th place = 22 points then 21,20 etc

The best 2 out of 3 rankings will be added together to give a final ranking. In the event of a tie the DROPPED RIDES WILL BE USED – these will be added to the paddlers’ top scores FROM EACH EVENT and the paddlers then re-ranked.

The events will be run to ICF RULES

Juniors: The first year a competitor can compete as a junior is the year in which his/her 15th birthday falls. The last year a competitor can compete as a junior is the year in which his/her 18th birthday falls. If you are too young to be a junior on the team you can still compete for a place in the squad. If you are a junior for British Champs but a senior for selection your senior ride score in selections (which is also the heats for Brit Champs) will be placed in the junior category for British Champs.

The way Hurley is to be used will be announced in a morning briefing @ 0930 on Saturday 21 November. This will take place at the Control Point. Competitors are strongly advised to attend this.

The SAS Hurley Classic Event
The Classic competition this year will be run in a seeded and random heat order. We do this so that each heat has a range of experience with the notion that the more experienced help the less experienced, very much in the ‘spirit’ of paddling. From your initial scores we will progress into a final category with the top 20% of each class. This would be run as one big heat of 20 minutes. However if we d not get through the heats by 1600 hours we will use the heat scores to give final scores

All paddlers with white water experience and a solid roll are welcome but we recommend paddlers have experience of surfing waves and holes to make the most of the day.

Rules: The competition will run in jam session style heats, paddlers can take as many rides as they like during the heat, within the running order. Paddlers may take up to 30 seconds each ride until they flush or are buzzed off by a judge. Buzzing off occurs if you don’t score a move within 20 seconds or your 30 seconds has expired. Paddlers will be scored on the top four scoring moves that they complete during their runs. A scoring list will be available on the day (this will be representative of current freestyle scoring systems).

Linked moves will score an extra accumulator that equals 50% of the total value of the linked moves.

Once we have run all the heats we will run a super final with the top paddlers competing to the international freestyle knockout final rules.

Please bring all your own equipment. There may be a limited number of freestyle demo boats on the day.

Registration is open from 9am on Sunday and the competition starts at 10 .
