Question Title

* 6. The number of W6 teams competing at our Regionals continues to grow, which means a long day of W6 racing. Do you support racing W6 over both Saturday and Sunday (inter-mixed with W1 races)? (As we often have to utilise reserve days due to weather, this may mean that heats and finals may be spread over two weekends, such as Saturday on one weekend, and either a Saturday or Sunday the following weekend.)

Yes

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 7. While overall the event continues to grow, the number of W1 paddlers is lower than in 2012. If you chose not to compete in W1 this year, please tell us why.
