A Junior is a rower as defined by USRowing 4-104.1 Classication by Age: "A Youth is a Competitor who in the current calendar year does not attain the age of 19, or who is and has been continously enrolled in a secondary school as a full-time student seeking a diploma.  A Competitor thus ceases to be a Youth after December 31 of the year of his or her 18th birthday, or of the year in which he or she completes the 12th grade of secondary school, having been a full-time student, which- ever is later.

Junior Novice events are open to rowers who started rowing after January 1, 2018.

Masters Novice events are open to rowers who have never raced before January 1, 2018.

Masters Rec Single events require the use of a Recreational Single such as a Maas, or other wider boat.

Dash Events are open to rowers of any age, weight, or level of experience. If you have more than one entry (especially in the singles) please rank them by experience level (A = top experience level) so we can seed the heat more fairly.
