Operating Race Rules

Intent of Rules

The organisers of this event believes in promoting good sportsmanship and fair play in the activities we engage in. This means observance of these race rules as well as generally accepted rules of behaviour and all governmental laws.  Paddlers are to avoid situations where a canoe is deliberately rammed, where assaults and/or abusive language are used. Coaches and Captains from different clubs are required to support and enforce these race rules and to avoid any circumvention of these rules. Race Officials and Officers are required to do their best to be fair and not biased in their decisions and in carrying out their duties.
