Glasgow Rowing Club

Glasgow Spring Regatta

"Club" eights - this is a 'Mixed' event, i.e. 4 women, 4 men. Additionally, each crew must include at least 2 junior and 2 veteran rowers. The crew status must not be higher than Res 2.
Mixed events - half of the crew of either sex, e.g. for fours there must be 2 men and 2 women.
OpJu events - these are open to crews comprising junior competitors, of either sex, that meet the applicable age requirement.
Please remember that since the rule change agreed at theSARA AGM of 2008
- Restricted 1 status means the crew average is no more than 6 points and
- Restricted 2 status means the crew average is no more than 2 points.
Veteran events
- Veteran Novice events will be run with no handicap and subject to there being a minimum of 3 entries. Where there are fewer than 5 veteran (open and novice) entries, a single handicapped event may (at the discretion of the organizing committee) be run.
- Where possible, Veteran events will be run within a single category, or else over a maximum of 3 adjacent categories using the standard handicapping process.
Alden sculls will race over a short course of approximately 250m. All other events will race over the full course.

Entry fees -
- Senior - £6 per seat, excluding coxes.
- Junior - £4.00 per seat, excluding coxes.
- Entry fees incorporate the SARA levy.
Entries must be made by a responsible member of the Club (e.g. Captain, Secretary) and must be received by the Entries Secretary by Sunday, 5th April 2009 at 3.00 p.m. NO LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.
The draw will be made at the GRC boat house on Monday 6 April at 6:30pm.
All competitors must possess a current racing licence issued by SARA (or other governing body). Licence numbers must be supplied or else competitors may need to apply for a SARA Day Ticket.
Multiple Entries (for competitors OR equipment) must be clearly indicated, more than 2 events per competitor may result in very short turn-around times.

Any event with only 3 entries will be run as a 'round-robin' contest, i.e. each crew will race both others. In the event of a tie after all three races, a tie-breaker race involving all 3 crews will be held, over 500m from the top of the finish straight to the finish line.
All other events will be in the usual, knockout, format.
Once entries are closed, if any event has less than 3 entries the crews may be entered into the next highest event, if applicable and if the crews are willing. Events with fewer than 3 entries may be cancelled. We do not intend to run any 2-boat events.
