Title: Alcan False Start Penalties Post by: DBWTim on June 15, 2005, 11:37:52 PM Thought this would be out there for people to be aware of...
Quote FALSE STARTS The Start commands are: “Paddles Up” “Attention Please” “air horn” signal, 1-5 seconds after “Attention Please” If the Race Referees or Starter notices ANY PADDLE MOVEMENT from any paddlers after “Paddles Up”, a 5 second time penalty will be added to the team’s finishing time Paddle movement means: taking strokes or having your paddle in the water and sculling the paddle. Looks like they'll be trying to crack down on this. I wonder if they'll be successful.
