RegattaCentral

This regatta is registered with USRowing and accepts the once-a-year USRowing waiver.

Every competitor must have signed a USRowing Release of Liability Waiver online through USRowing. No paper waivers will be available for this regatta. If any club has a question on how to renew membership or sign an athlete waiver please contact USRowing membership department directly at [email protected] 800-314-4769.

Online Submission:

1. Contact your club's administrator and request your club's USRowing Club Code
2. Go to https://membership.usrowing.org/ and follow the instructions
3. You'll be assigned a USRowing ID if you do not already have one.

Registration will be open Friday March 1st from 3-6pm for checking on your waiver status. 

Many coaches and competitors complain that although they’ve signed waivers on-line at USRowing, and have screenshots to prove it, they’re listed in RegattaCentral’s waiver compliance report as noncompliant. The main reason that USRowing waivers don’t show up in the RegattaCentral report is that competitors' names don’t match. 
Many name mismatches are caused by misspellings and inconsistent use of nicknames. Competitors are unlikely to misspell their own names, but coaches need to be careful to spell their athletes’ names correctly. 
Concerning nicknames, using them is OK so long as for a given athlete the nickname is always used and is always the same, but the safest policy is always to use competitors’ formal names. Here are a few of the many mismatches detected before the 2014 PumpkinHead:

Another cause of waiver failures is that many athletes have multiple USRowing accounts. Speak with your club administrator to merge duplicate accounts.
