2007 NEW ENGLAND SLALOM SERIES
The New England Slalom Series is a set of whitewater slalom races for open canoe and unranked
C/D decked boaters. All races are sanctioned by the ACA, and points earned count
toward national rankings. Open canoe paddlers from this series are usually among
the top finishers in the Open Boat Nationals. We are proud that training
programs have used our series to develop their paddlers, some of whom have gone
on to national and international prominence as members of the U.S. Whitewater
team, or as nationally ranked paddlers in the sports of whitewater slalom racing
and whitewater rodeo. Our series warmly welcomes people of all ages, from those
who are complete beginners in whitewater slalom racing to those who race just
for fun and excitement.
Racers are registered at their first race, and points from each race are
accumulated for the series standings. To qualify for a Series award, racers must
compete in at least 6 races in the same class. The best six finishes
determine each racer's series standing with the final race of the year, the
Farmington Slalom, as tie-breaker. Racers may enter a maximum of 3 classes per
race and are eligible for up to 3 series awards. Special participation awards
are given to those racers who complete a minimum of one race run in each of the
10 races in the series. At the end of each race there is a drawing for a
certificate good for free entry into one of the next two races in the series.
Any participating racer present at the awards ceremony is eligible to win! The
certificate is good for up to three classes, is not transferable, and may not be
used for late registration. Race dates and details are available at
www.bestweb.net/~keech/a-ness.htm.
