| Time Line |
Online Intent process will open 26 July 2019 for clubs to submit their intent to trial to participate at the 2020 IVF World Club Championships. See intent form attached | 26 July 2019 |
The intent process will require the club to register a team and category/ies. No paddler names will be required for this registration of intent. Please note that the name of the team must be the same team name that they use when they enter the Sprint Nationals in 2020.
Only teams with intents submitted will be eligible to qualify for the 2020 World Club Championship |
|
The intent must be accompanied by the Entry Fee to the World Club Championships ($160 per paddler/$960 per team) This fee is only refundable if there are more than 6 teams that register intent and your team does not qualify. If the team qualifies, then this amount will be used as their Entry Fee to the IVF.

Intent and fee due by 30th November 2019
| 30 November 2019 |
Teams must qualify in 500m, 1000 /1500 W6, W12 and turns races separately. (So it is possible that a club may choose/qualify to go to the World Club Championships to do one event only).
|
|
After teams have qualified, the club has until 30 January 2020 to confirm that they are taking up the spot.
| 30 January 2020 |
After 30 January 2020, should a club choose not to take up their spot, then it will be offered to the club that came next in that final event with an intent submitted
|
|
The next club/s in that event have until 7 February 2020 to take up the vacant spot.
|
|
After 7 February 2020, if the vacant spot is not taken up, then it will be offered to a team in another event that may not have qualified in this event (e.g. if a team qualifies in the 500m and not in the 1500m)
|
|
Club qualifies a waka, not the people in it. – So the paddlers can change but must still be on their club’s member roster
|
|
Clubs will need to sign off that all paddlers are members of that club by the IVF deadline time for entries to the world championships.
|
|
Teams will be representing their Club as part of the New Zealand contingent and must wear their Club Uniform to compete at the World Championship
|
|
Clubs will arrange all travel and accommodation arrangements for representative teams. Waka Ama New Zealand will manage entries only.
