The regatta will NOT be delayed to accommodate doubling or hot-seating. In the heat, it's just not fair to the other competitors.
The regatta is open to juniors only. A junior is a competitor who in the current calendar year does not attain the age of 19, or who is and has been continuously enrolled in secondary school as a full time student seeking a diploma. A competitor thus ceases to be a Junior after December 31 of the year of his or her 18th birthday, or of the year in which he or she completes the 12th grade of secondary school, having been a full time student, whichever is later.
A junior 16 is a competitor who will not attain the age of 17 in 2006. A competitor's age is determined as of December 31, 2006.
All events except the dash races are 2000 meters. Dash races are 1/4 mile. The order of events is fixed and will not be changed. Heats, if required, will be run before the first final in the same order as the finals. The regatta start time is 9:00 a.m.
There will be a mandatory coaches and coxswains meeting at the Canoe Club at 8:00 a.m.
If necessary, there will be a break in the program after the girl's quad race to permit rowers in the quads to participate in the dash races.
No entry fee for the eights dash race is required if the crew entered the 2000 meter eight race.
