Club Registration with FSRA
For our insurance to cover you, each club entering must be a current member of FSRA. Unaffiliated individuals must be individual members of USRowing. Please make sure your membership is current.
EVENTS MAY CLOSE EARLY:
It is anticipated that some events may see significant entries, usually in DOUBLES.
In order to complete racing at a reasonable time, we will probably have to limit the number of flights per event to three, which would mean a maximum of TWENTY ONE entries per event for the actual races. If some events are under-subscribed, we may be able to add additional flights.
RACE COURSE
There will be 6 lanes and the course will be buoyed every 100 meters
Middle School events will be 750 mts. Startline at THE END CLOSE TO MRC AND FINISH AT THE MARINE STADIUM
NOVICE RULETeams must enter their fastest crews on the Varsity level, 2nd fastest crews on the JV level .This applies to the same sized boats (a JV8 requires a V8 entry just as a JV4 requires a V4 entry). If a lower class boat records a faster time than its higher level boat, the LOC may investigate & choose to disqualify boats from the event.
A team may enter lightweight & freshmen events without entries at the other levels
