Events Offered
Our aim is to enable as many people to compete in their preferred events as possible and we believe that by dividing the competition into 3 divisions and spreading the likely entries among those divisions, we might be able to achieve that - your good humour and efficiency will help considerabley!
We appreciate many competitors will want to enter a number of events, so we are offering combinations of events based on age groups, boat types and category across the different divisions:
age group - from J12 to J18, and Masters of any age - we will group masters entries into logical clusters after entries close
gender - open, women and mixed
boat type - 1x, 2x, 2-, 4x+, 4x-, 4+, 4-, 8+
Some categories are restricted to particular age groups - for instance coxed quads to younger categories and coxless to more experienced, for instance. Inevitably, some combinations won't take place due to lack of entries.
Due to lack of update we have dropped primary events from this years open regatta, however we still have the Low CRI category events, specifically aimed at those who are just starting to find their feet with rowing. The Low CRI approach does not apply to junior events because if there are sufficient entries to warrant splitting them we will do so, which will typically result in those with fewer points racing each other, but it does apply to Masters 4x- on the Saturday (both Open and Women), and to 2x and 4x- on the Sunday (again both Open and Women)
