Club Registration with FSRA

For our insurance to cover you, each club entering must be a current member of FSRA. Unaffiliated individuals must sign the NOARA waiver.

EVENTS MAY CLOSE EARLY:

It is anticipated in some circumstances if the amount is too high.

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 for 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.
