National Championship Events: Events 15-59, 71-79
- Racing will be conducted in a six lane progression - heats, repecharges, semi-finals and finals.

- School events may be conducted under the FISA exhaustive progression providing there is a minimum of three starters in the most minor final.
Adaptive Events: Events 60-70
Will be run as straight finals. Where insufficient entries are received into Male and Female events in the same category so as to enable separate races, the races will be combined into one but medals awarded to Male and Female placegetters.
Interstate Championship Events: Events 80-87
Will be raced as straight finals irrespective of the number of entries.
THE DRAW
The draw for National Championships designated as selection
events will be seeded and will be provided by the High Performance

Racing will be configured in a 6 lane progression system as required
by RA and according to FISA protocols. The draw will be conducted
electronically and will be random. A physical review of the draw for
heats will be conducted to ensure that competitors from the same club
