Division Codes and Explanations
Each participant in WSTIMS must be associated with a particular Division Code, according to the participant's gender and age, and perhaps also a proficiency qualification. This Division Code indicates a number of things about how that competitor's performance is to be scored, and what their maximum boat speeds are to be in the Slalom and Jumping disciplines.
The table below itemizes all of the Division Codes that are recognized by WSTIMS for competitions in the USA. Other federations may have different structures of Age Divisions, which can be defined by a special federation-specific Divisional Control Table. This is the USA Table:
