Notes and conditions of entry

General

• There will be 2 races, over the same course: at 11:30 am and at 2:00pm.
• The races will be run under Scottish Rowing rules.
• The course is approximately 5000 metres, from Belvedere straight to Glasgow Green.
• No "time-only" entries will be accepted. Any crew wanting to test itself is welcome to enter in an open category.
• The race is for fours and quad sculls only. No other boat classes will be accepted.

Prizes

• At least three crews must race in an event for a prize to be awarded.
• There will be prizes for the fastest male crew and the fastest female crew of the day. These will not take any account of differences in the prevailing conditions during the races.
• Additionally a pennant will be awarded to the fastest crew in each event contested. Each member of a winning crew will receive an individual prize.

• Open Junior events are open to all competitors whose rowing age is less than the specified age. Women's Junior events are open only to female competitors who also fulfil the age qualification.

Dependant on entries, we may create more than one event (e.g. 'B'-'C' and 'E'-'F'), however a maximum span of 3 categories (e.g. 'C'-'D'-'E') will be used when applying handicaps to the event(s) that result.
• The Veteran Novice and Veteran Res2 events are open to crews who are Veteran A or above and are eligible by status. No handicapping will be applied.
