2016 Flatwater Series

[Dan Baumert]

Below are 2016 MaCKRO flatwater series rules and races included in the series. As you can see the series has already started, however, the series will continue until late October so the series has just begun with a majority of the races still to come. A lot of races and options for all the faltwater paddlers!


2016 MaCKRO FLAT WATER RACING SERIES

The MaCKRO flatwater series racing rules for 2016 will be similar to the 2015 rules. Basically one point is awarded for participating and finishing any of the races included in the flatwater series. The major difference for 2016 is that only races that take place in Maine will be included in the flatwater series.
Rules:
1. You must be a current MaCKRO member in order to accumulate points.
2. One point for each flat water race series race competed in.
3. Eligible races are any flat water race held in Maine from the Baskahegan Stream
Race through the Muskrat Scramble race in October.
4. The race and results MUST be posted on the MaCKRO website.
5. A minimum of 6 races is required to be eligible.
6. No maximum number of points is attainable. If it fits, it scores.
8. If a tie breaker is needed it will be determined by finish place in any Stillwater River
championship (bragging rights) races.
9. Lifejackets must be present per Maine Law, or worn if under age 14, per Maine
Law.

Consult the race schedule on the MaCKRO website for any flat water Thursday evening
or weekend races. The races included in the flatwater series are listed below.
Please check with Bob Miller if you are uncertain about membership status. We look
forward to seeing you all on the water. Paddle hard, paddle safely!
