South Side Smackdown

  • Hosted By: South Side Community Rowing

Team Events

Anyone wishing to compete in any of the Team Events MUST first complete a 1x 2K. The list of Team Events is as follows:

  • Slider 2x 1K
  • Stationary 2x 1K
  • 4x 250m
  • 4x 2K Relay

When registering for a Team Event:

Each individual can register themselves and pay for their 1x 2K entry but only ONE (1) person should submit a lineup for any team event. For example, if John, Bob, Frank, and Zach want to do the Men's Open relay event (4x 2K Relay) together then they could all submit an individual entry for their 2K and pay that entry fee themselves, but only one of them (let's say John) would submit an entry (with all their names on it) for the Men's Open Relay event. Please make sure before submitting a lineup for a team event that all members of that lineup are aware of this entry and have agreed to compete in this event.

Coaches submitting all entries for their club (individual and team events) need not follow any special procedure as you are handling all entries.

Competitors are able to compete in a maximum of TWO (2) additional events besides the 1x 2K. Please note based on scheduling of events, competitors must choose EITHER the Slider 2x 1K OR the Stationary 2x 1K, but not both. The same applies for the 4x 250m and the 4x 2K Relay.
