Boat Pack

The boat pack for the Long Distance GP boats will be on Thursday from 2:30 - 4:30. Ye know the drill

[Ross]

How many moves are counted in the freestyle? And does that mean we only get one run?

[kmck]

Usually it's one move each side counted

[Poohy]

I was unsure about that myself Ross.. I THINK its just once you flush out the next person goes in so we arent wasting time and its continuous rotation for 8 mins?

I emailed Ronan about it and he hasnt replied yet :/

[Diarmuid]

30 second penalty for touching a gate in slalom seems a bit extreme, should be more like 3 seconds?

Maybe we could ask to get moved earlier for slalom so that it definitely won't clash with Polo?

[Ross]

Usually it's one move each side counted

I mean is it our best 6 moves, or just our total score after the time.

Ailbhe, it seems to say you can only drop onto it, it reads to me as one 2 minute run with no second chance, so if you fall off of it immediately you get nothing. Which is awful...

[Kerry Gold]

Long Distance
Safety boaters: Rory O'Connor, Kieran McKevitt, Andrew Lynam and one more

hey, you robbed me of my chance to offer to be rescue.

[Vettie]

My bad sorry Rory

We're last though! So hopefully they'll have it sorted out by then

[Poohy]

Yeah thats the way i read it too.. but it cant be like that though.. id say its continusous just when one flushes the next goes in like a loop...

[Ross]

It could easily be like that because they are doing weird things in slalom too with the penalties.

It looks like you get one 2 minute ride, and after you drop off the next person goes. Which means we won't see any entry moves anyway

[DervM]

Also two minutes is a retaaaaaarded ride length

[CormacR]

Also two minutes is a retaaaaaarded ride length

I might just have to post that to the varsities page and tag Mark
