The 2012 New England Slalom Series

MediumThe New England Slalom Series is a set of whitewater slalom races for open canoe and unranked or C/D decked (Kayak, C1 and C2) boaters. There are 29 classes offered including recreational (ABS and plastic), and kevlar race classes for cadets, juniors, open classes; and masters. The difficulty of water varies from class I to class III.  Boats and paddlers all must follow the rules as outlined in the WWOC Rules..  More information is available from the Open Canoe Slalom Commitee's Website.

You may enter as many individual races as you like, but to qualify for a Now England Slalom Series Award, you must participate in at least 5 races in the same class.  Points are tallied from the best 5 finishes, with the Farmington Slalom as a tie-breaker if needed. 

K1Each race will have awards in all qualifying classes.  In addition, the the New England Slalom Series award ceremony will follow the Farmington Slalom. 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.  Additional information is posted on this site.
