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.
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 can add additional flights.
We reserve the right to close some events before the deadline if necessary.
ENTRIES:
Rowers are allowed to participate in more than one event. Please check the time between races.
