Jersey Paddle Club

The Summer Sizzler will run in the same format as the Frostbite series. Contests will be free and they will normally be run every 2 weeks (weather permitting).

* Racers wanting to get a ranking at the end of the series will be required to do at least 4 races in one division
* If you take part in 8 races , 4 in one class and 4 in another you will only be ranked on your highest placed class

* If at the end of the series there is a tie for any position the final placing will be worked out against the highest 5th score or if no 5th score is available then there will be a race off between the 2 competitors.
* Each race will have a handicap start and your place in the start line will go against your previous race placing
* After the main race there will be a team relay race. The teams will be worked out based on the results from the main race.
* Race formats will vary. BOP, Distance and Down Wind

There will be a Facebook events page set up for each race which will go out a week before the event. This will confirm the date and venue but please note that this may change a few days before if the weather doesn’t suit the venue.

*There may also be from time to time mid week races in between the set weekend races. These races will be called the Summer Sizzler #.5 race and you can only have one in between each of the main races. So SS 3 is held then a week later during the week SS 3.5 is held. You can not then have another mid week race till after SS 4.

*Mid week races will carry the same points as a normal races but you must have a minimum of 5 competitors that have done at least 1 main weekend race to make it official.
