REGULAR SEASON SCHEDUILE
AND COMPETITION POLICIES

Prior to registration coaches should familiarize themselves with the following race
EVSRA will use the following order of events for the Seeps and Sculls Regatta. Racing begins at 9 AM and events run on ten minute centers. Double rowing is permitted and we attempt to accommodate as many hull conflicts as possible. Nevertheless, coaches should allow 40 minutes between races involving a boat or crew conflict.
Light and second events may be combined if undersubscribed or for the convenience of the regatta.

Additional sculling events will be added to the April 21st regatta and the race order will be reconfigured for that regatta only. The added events and amended order will be addressed in a separate memo.

The local organizing committee reserves the right to change the order of events and to adjust centers in order to promote a maximum number of races. Nevertheless, no refund will be issued for registrations that violate the 40 minute separation rule based upon the order of events shown above.

Coaches are advised that sculling events are frequently undersubscribed. For planning and registration purposes, please assume that the separation time between events 4 and 7 is regarded as 20 minutes, that the separation time between events 10 and 13 similarly is regarded as 20 minutes, and that the separation time between events 18 and 21 is 10 minutes.

There is a two boat minimum for regular season races. Light and second events may be combined if undersubscribed in either category.

There are no progression rules for regular season regattas.

In general, lane assignments will be made based upon previous times. Fastest boats are assigned to the center lanes according to the following lane order (fastest to slowest): 3, 4, 2, 5, 1, 6. Lane assignments will be made based upon a blind draw for boats with no recorded times.

Final schedules with lane assignments will be emailed to head coaches by 6 PM on Friday evening prior to regattas.

Additional registrations will be accepted on a space available basis at the coaches meeting. There is a $10 administrative fee per event for races added on the morning of the regatta in addition to the normal entry fee. EVSRA is unable to issue refunds for scratched entries.

We conduct a coaches meeting in at 7:15 AM to confirm the race schedule. There is a mandatory coxswains meeting at 7:45 AM. Coaches meet in the picnic shelter; coxswains meet in the dock master area, unless otherwise advertised.
