We will finalise start times on Thursday based on the forecast – it will be as early as is possible. The final comp format, heat draw and heat times will be announced on Saturday. We aim to give competitors as many chances to compete and progress as possible for the conditions on the day. This is likely to be double elimination format, - we try not to use single elimination format – at least a combination of the two, with the winners from last year seeded into later rounds. Every competitor will have at least two chances to progress.
