HEAT SHEETS

The Dogwood Masters Classic - May 29, 2021 - Oak Ridge, TN

The Dogwood Masters Classic is hosted by Oak Ridge Rowing Association. The Masters Classic provides 1000-meter events with a start dock for Masters crews (USROWING AA-J).  Oak Ridge's Melton Lake Venue provides miles of sheltered water.  The order of events is structured to provide Masters competitors with multiple opportunities to race during the day.  USRowing handicaps will be applied for all events. Heavily subscribed events have been subdivided in to smaller groups, then single Age Categories, and then further flighted by age within the Category as necessary. There will be no progressions.  Bling to flight winners, a la Worlds!

There will be breaks in the order of events listed in order to facilite doubling from 1X to 2X to 4X, and 4+ to 8+. The order of events will not change.

CDC Guidance: per CDC guidelines issued May 13, 2021, ORRA will specifically not require masks for participants and spectators at the Dogwood Masters that are fully vaccinated. "Proof of vaccination" is not required; the "honor system" is in place. Existing ORRA policy already explicitly describes continued personal responsibility, social distancing, cleanliness/hygiene, acceptance of choice and awareness of risks. That policy remains in effect.  Persons may choose to wear or not wear masks on the venue. That is a personal choice that will be supported. Any persons not vaccinated (the reasons are your own) acknowledge their continued higher risk of infection. Those individuals should continue to wear a mask on the venue. Please contact ORRA's Chief Health Officer at [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
