• Senior Woman: 1st 2500€ / 2nd 750€ / 3rd 250€

Concerning the rules, the organisers want to give a chance to the C1 seniors and K1 Juniors to win the prize money during the final.
Therefore, the final will be held with 7 paddlers, the five best of the semi-final K1 seniors, the best C1 seniors and the best K1 juniors of the semi-final.
We hope to see a great final !!!

Concerning the judging, Terry Best and Members of the sapin/Catalan federation will be dedicated to making a fair and impartial decision. They will be using the same computer system of the forthcoming World Championship.

So this event will be a great opportunity for all just before the Freestyle World Championships in Nantahala (USA).

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

The Team
