Changes to marathon rules
The Hasler rules are changing again. The critical bits that affect us are that they have dropped the combined division k2 races (div 4/5/6 etc) and there will now be K2 and K1 classes for each individual division.
For information they have also finally dropped the restrictions on promotion above div 2 for junior boys, above div 3 for women and above div 4 for junior girls. About time too in my humble opinion. However promotions and demotions within the top 3 divisions will be made by the Rankings Officer in consultation with the Regional Hasler Adviser.
There are also minor changes made to the races that should be offered in the top 3 divisions at each Hasler race; now it should be either div 1 & 3 K1 and div 2 K2 or div 1 & 3 K2 and div 2 K1.
