It is really important that everyone going to the regatta has GroupMe loaded on a device and unmutes it so that you are getting updates. You also need to be sure that you are checking GroupMe regularly for updates. We will only be sending updates via GroupMe next weekend.

US Rowing Waivers

Some of you may need to sign your rower's US Rowing waiver online in order for them to compete at the regatta. If this affects you, you will get an email.

Weather Issues

It is possible that weather may delay racing. If this is the case the following strategies may be taken by the regatta organizers to accommodate a shorter racing schedule.

Cancel novice events
Cancel small boat events
Reduce to approximately 1000 meters, a floating start and 6 minute centers
Eliminate finals, in which case awards will be determined by heat times
Cancel regatta

It is also possible that in cases of wind the LOC, along with the chief referee, may make the decision to cancel small boat events and or novice events in the interest of competitor safety.

**Please be aware that even if events are not cancelled, coaches may choose to scratch boats in the interest of safety.
