Selection of overseas athletes to represent Australia - Letter from Greg Doyle
Andrew Fegan, Saturday, 27 February 2010Selection of overseas athletes Greg Doyle has released this open letter to explain Australia Canoeing selection policy on overseas athletes to represent Australia
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
Dear all,
Please note the following advice. It will be placed on the AC website as soon as practical.
Lucien Delfour – Selection Eligibility
Under the Australian Canoeing Selection Procedures Bylaw, to be eligible for selection to a national team, an athlete must first:
satisfy AC's CEO that s/he meets or will meet the ICF's eligibility requirements (if any); and
satisfy AC's CEO that s/he is a financial individual member of AC; and
not have any outstanding accounts with AC that are more than 30-days in arrears; and
complete and sign the applicable application form, including the acknowledgement that s/he will abide by the AC Team Member Bylaw; and
pay the non-refundable $70.00 selection application fee.
The ICF Canoe Slalom Competition Rules (i.e. the ICF's eligibility requirements) provide as follows:
3.3.1 A competitor may take part on behalf of the Federation in a foreign country in which he/she is domiciled, if he/she obtains the authorisation of his/her Federation of origin. This authorisation has to be sent before 30th November prior to the year concerned to the ICF Headquarters with a copy to the Chair of the Canoe Slalom Committee. The same procedure applies, should the competitor change back his/her starting right to the Federation of origin.
Lucien Delfour has met each of the above criteria and is therefore eligible for selection under the Australian Canoeing Selection Procedures Bylaw.
The relevant national teams will be selected by the Selection Panel in accordance with the Australian Canoeing Selection Procedures Bylaw and Selection Criteria Supplement.
Greg Doyle, CEO, 27th February 2010

Cancelled - Trip to NZ National Schools Whitewater Competition, 26 Mar - 7 Apr, 2010
Andrew Fegan, Friday, 26 February 2010CANCELLED Kim Rockman and Jackie Handley regret that the proposed organised trip to NZ to compete in the New Zealand National Schools Whitewater Championships over Easter will not proceed. Whilst there was some interest amongst Victorian slalom paddlers, there was insufficient numbers to justify an organised tour.
