Ballot Applications
Applications for the Ballot will be accepted from 9am Monday 22 January, until 5pm Wednesday 21 February 2024. One ballot application per person/team.
You can apply for TWO event categories in a single application, such as Longest Day or Tandem team. Noting that categories changes are permitted throughout the year, i.e. you could change from Longest Day to 2 Day Individual if you need to closer to the event (change fees may apply). Only those who have a current Grade 2 Kayaking certificate (or have booked a course prior to the 2025 event) should be applying to the Ballot.
Ballot Results and Entry
Successful Ballot applicants will receive email notifications starting from Thursday 6 March. The email will provide instructions on how to complete the entry process. Athletes will have until 5pm Thursday 14 March, to enter and pay. Unclaimed spots will be reallocated via the Wait List. Ballot entries will be allocated via a random draw at the sole discretion of the organiser. The process is not on a first-come, first-served basis.
Unsuccessful Ballot Applicants and Waitlist
Athletes not successful in the Ballot draw will be placed on a Wait List. The Wait List order will be randomly generated and published online. If you applied for two categories and secured an entry into one, you won't be added to the Wait Lists for the category you didn't receive an entry for. Noting that categories changes are permitted throughout the year, i.e. you could change from Longest Day to 2 Day Individual if you need to closer to the event (change fees may apply).
Wait list offers will be made on the following dates;
Offer 1 – 10 May 2024
Offer 2 – 4 October 2024
Offer 3 – 6 January 2025
2024 Wait List Athletes
If you were on an Individual Wait List in 2024 (Longest Day or 2 Day Individual) and either remained on the list or were unable to commit to the 2024 event, you will automatically be entered into the Ballot draw. If you are unsuccessful in the Ballot draw you will be given a higher ranking on the 2025 Wait List than those not on the 2024 Wait List.
