The regatta is open to all Masters rowers regardless of affiliation.  Composite entries are welcomed and encouraged.  Collegiate rowers 18 to 22 years of age are also welcome to participate at no cost, scrimmaging in their selected event, but will not qualify for medals.  LBRA reserves the right to consolidate or cancel events in the event of light participation.

USRowing 2016 Rules of Rowing apply.

The regatta will be held with two event categories; a nominal 1000 meter (actual 950 meter) sprint, and sevaral all-out, no-hold-barred 500 meter dash events in singles and novice wherry/recreational boats.  Handicaps are normalized to 950 meters.  The course will not be buoyed.  Six racing lanes and one recovery lane are accommodated.  Races will be organized by flights (no heats), spreading events that have more than six entries into multiple finals with competitors grouped most closely by age.

Medals awarded for first, second, and third place.  If less than four competitors in an event, a crew must beat another to receive a medal.
