Note.
Announcements are noted as they are received and given date of start is preliminary until the start is made and this (or new date) is confirmed. The tour is ongoing and noted in green. The paddlers is also given a start number and sorted by this in top of table.
Should a paddler be forced to abandon the tour, he will once more be moved and now to the bottom of the table excluding start number. Active paddlers are renumbered. We hope the table in this way will be more lucid and easy to reed.
