    All competitors will be automatically entered into the Open Category where points will be given according to the number of ppaddlers involved in that particular race. More details on distribution of points will be made available soon.
  • Competitors will also be placed into an age category according to their age as of the 20th September, 2008. Competitors will receive points in the Open category and also their age category(unless aged between 20 and 29, where you will only receive points in the Open category) to go towards overall series positions. Each event however, holds the right to not allow competitors to double dip in prizes i.e. the winner of the race may be 35yrs old but may only claim the open prize with the 1st prize for the 30-39 age group going to the next placed competitor in that age group. This clause also goes for the trips to Hawaii, only one trip may be won per person with the next placed competitor receiving the trip if the winner has already won a trip in another age category.
  • Points for each age category(excluding Opens) will be allocated as follows:
    • 1st in class - 10 points
    • 2nd in class - 9 points
    • 3rd in class - 8 points
    • 4th in class - 7 points
    • 5th in class - 6 points
    • 6th in class - 5 points
    • 7th in class - 4 points
    • 8th in class - 3 points
