| | The "no tolerance" Timetrial Start Procedure |
| | | | | | |
| 6:00pm | Clock will start and remain on for 12 mins | | | | |
| 6:12pm | Clock will be turned off and one red light will be turned on (3mins to start) |
| 6:14pm | Two red lights turned on (1 mins to start) |
| 6:15pm | Three red lights turned on. You are now under starters orders and the race may be started anytime. |
| | All red lights turned off. Race starts. |
| | |
| | The idea is start the timetrial at 6:15pm sharp according to the starters time. This gives everybody (whatever the weather conditions) a fair chance to get to the time trial in time, |
| | The first red light will go on EXACTLY at 6:12pm. The second red light WILL go on EXACTLY two minutes later and the third a minute later (at 6:15pm). Paddlers must time their approach to the line according to the lights. |
| | No instructions will issued by the starters on the bank before the start - the paddlers must react to the lights only. |
| |
| Jumpers | Jumpers are paddlers who have been identified by the starter as been over the start line when the 3 red lights were turned off. |
| | The starter and the spotter(s) will not warn or attempt to get jumpers back into line before the start. |
| | After the race, there will be no debate as to who jumped and who was caought or not. The starters decision after consultation with the spotters, will be final. |
| | Jumpers will be allowed to complete the race but their times and positions will NOT be recorded. |
