This is a USRowing registered regatta. The Regatta will be conducted in accordance with USRowing Rules of Racing.
USRowing organizational membership - USRowing requires all participating organizations at registered regattas to be USRowing members. Becoming a registered regatta gives the regatta access to USRowing's insurance, the most affordable insurance available. The organization (high school, colelge or club) has to be an organizational member of USRowing; individuals do not have to be members.
Scratch fees - Entry fees will be refunded if the scratches are made before October 6, 2006. Those scratching after that time will forfeit their entry fees.
Waiver forms - Every competitor must complete a waiver form and return it to Schuylkill Navy by Friday, October 6, 2006. No competitor will be allowed to race without a signed waiver on file. Individual USRowing members now may sign a waiver only once per year for all USRowing-registered regattas, including the Schuylkill Banks Regatta. Regatta Central will confirm waiver compliance by verifying each entrant's USRowing membership number with USRowing.
Athletes are encouraged to fax their annual waiver to USRowing and ensure that their USRowing member number is included with their roster record in RegattaCentral. Coaches who submit entries for their athletes are encouraged to update their rosters and make sure each athlete's USRowing member number is included in the roster.
Uniforms - All crews must wear matching shirts. "Matching" means identical in style, color, and detail, including any insignia. No crew will be permitted to race in violation of this rule.
Vendors/Advertising - All manufacturers, clubs, and sellers of rowing related equipment and goods are welcome to apply for vendor space. For more information, please contact Louise Turan.
