For the seniors! (and the Juniors, too, because we're going down as well on Caturday.... i mean, *Saturday and Sunday)


Just some information about the upcoming NCC this weekend...


-The events are as follows (Schedule is very incomplete, because the full schedule will only be up by 2pm tmr. i will update when it does, but roughly this is how it goes)


Saturday

1)10,000m
2)1000m
3)200m


Sunday


1)500m [heats]
2)500m [Semi Finals]
3)500m [Finals]
4)200m [Semi Finals]


Things to note:


- The 10km event on Saturday is the first race for the day. All paddlers involved must report BY 0830hrs for a briefing. Any last minute training in the reservoir must cease by 0840 hrs latest.


-for Male K1 category, there are 26 paddlers for one of the events (200m, if i remember correctly. Again, i will reconfirm when the schedule is out, because it was flashed very fast and we couldn't copy everything down) Therefore, there will be multiple sets of heats, and a B finals.


-All participants must be one star certified. (not a problem.)


-Automatic disqualification will follow if any participant is found to represent more than 1 organization. (Not a problem either. I think Damien will chase after you with a paddle if you ever 'two-time' tpct. =D )


-Participants are expected to know what to do by themselves in the event of a capsize. (you can take this to mean that nobody's gonna come rescue you if you go 'sploosh' ... )


-10km route looks like this.




Yes, i know it looks horrible, but it was very hastily drawn. At least i didn't use bunnies.
For those who can't understand... start at the starting point. Follow the pink trail for 5 rounds, going around the black buoys (which are essentially just the normal buoys which have been wrapped with trash bags)
come back from lane 6, go out again from lane 1
Finish at the starting line.
Any further updates will be posted tomorrow along with the schedule.
