Please do not park your trailer earlier than 12:00 p.m. noon on Monday, July 22, 2002. If you park it earlier, you run the risk of being asked to move it. Parking will be on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be little or no boat racks.

Rules of Rowing
·	We will be following the USRowing rules of rowing including the advertising rule 3-203. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at jody@usrowing.org.

SHELL ADVERTISING RULE ADMINISTRATION

Rule 3-203 Manufacturer and Sponsor Advertisement will be enforced at the 2002 USRowing National Championship Regatta.  The rule states:

·	Boat Manufacturer:  The manufacturer’s advertisement may also appear on the outside of the boat once on each side in the area of the boat occupied by rowers or coxswain, provided the maximum area of that advertisement does not exceed 50 square centimeters.

·	Boat Sponsor:  The sponsor’s advertisement may appear on the side of the boat (including the gunwale and washboard) as follows:

1x, 2x, 2-, 2	Once on each side
4x, 4-, 4+	2 times each side maximum
8+, 8x	4 times each side maximum

All sponsor’s advertisements that appear on the outside of the boat pursuant to this subsection must be identical with each other, except that boats designed for four or more rowers may have no more than two different identifications, which may be for different sponsors.  Each advertisement shall have a maximum area of 800 square centimeters.

Rule Administration:  If there is no sponsor, a boat manufacturer may be considered a sponsor and occupy up to 800 square centimeters allocated for a sponsor.  If there is a sponsor on the boat, a boat manufacturer may still be considered as a sponsor if the number of sponsors is not exceeded for that boat classification.

Measurement:  The area included in the size restrictions identified in this rule (3-203) is calculated by drawing vertical and horizontal lines at right angles to each other extended from the most extreme points of the name or trademark.  If the advertisement appears on a background color that is different from that of the surface that it covers, that background color is also counted when determining the size of the advertisement.

Non-compliance Remedy:  If any advertisement exceeds what is allowed, either as a boat manufacturer (50 square centimeters) or as a sponsor (800 square centimeters), the following procedure should be used.  Please remember the boat manufacturer space, 50 square centimeters, cannot be combined with the sponsor space, 800 square centimeters, to create a 850 square centimeter advertisement.

·	All boats will be checked for boat manufacturer and sponsor advertisement compliance at the Control Commission as they are preparing to launch, or earlier if possible.
·	Those boats found to be in non-compliance will have electrical tape put through the non-complying boat manufacturer or sponsor advertisement by the Control Commission.
·	The boat will then be allowed to launch and participate.  The tape must remain on the boat until the regatta is complete, or the advertising is brought into compliance.

·	The scale will be available starting Tuesday, July 23, 2002. It will be in the athlete’s area.

·	Weigh-ins: Lightweight men shall weigh no more than 160 lbs., with the crew average being 155 lbs. Lightweight women shall weigh no more than 130 lbs. There is no crew average for women. Lightweight weigh-in will occur once a day, no more than two hours and no less than one hour before the competitor’s first lightweight race.

·	Coxswains may be of either sex and of any age. Coxswains for men’s crews shall weigh at least 120 lbs. Coxswains for women’s crews shall weigh at least 110 lbs. Coxswains weighing less than the required amounts shall be assigned the additional weight necessary to achieve the minimum weight. This weight should be carried in all appropriate events coxed by the individual as close to the torso as possible. Weigh-ins will occur once a day, no more than two hours and no less than one hour before the competitor`s first race.

·	Equipment Issues: During all race days, no shell may launch without a bow ball and no shell may race without its appropriate lane number affixed to its bow. Bow markers will be provided. A boat in which the body of the coxswain is enclosed or partially enclosed within the hull of the boat shall conform to the following requirements:

a) The opening through which the coxswain enters and exits shall be at least 2.30 ft.(70 cm) long when measured along the longitudinal axis of the boat. For a length of a least 1.64 ft.(50 cm.), the opening shall be as wide as the inner hull of the boat itself.
b) The inner surface within which the coxswain’s body rests shall be smooth and free of any obstacles, devices, or other structures that would hinder quick exit. Where the feet of the competitor are held in place by footgear affixed to the structure of the boat, the design of such footgear shall provide for the quick release of the feet in case of emergency without the use of hands. Any pull string connected to the heel of such footgear shall not allow the heel to raise more than three inches (7.5 cm) above the footboard to which it is anchored.

BOW NUMBERS WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE CONTROL COMMISSION AREA PRIOR TO LAUNCHING.

·	Classification by Skill

Intermediate  - A competitor is an intermediate who has not advanced to the status of senior or elite.

Senior – A competitor is a senior who has won an intermediate or senior event over 2,000 meters at the USRowing National Championships or the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, and who has not advanced to the status of elite. A competitor who is an elite as a sweep rower shall be advanced to senior for all sculling events, and a competitor who is an elite as a sculler shall be advanced to senior for all sweep events.

Elite – A competitor is an elite who has won one 2,000 meter event classified as elite at the USRowing National Championship Regatta, an open 2,000 meter event at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, or any 2,000-meter event other than a junior or masters event at a USRowing open or lightweight national team trials regatta. A Competitor also becomes an elite if he or she has won any two 2,000 –meter events classified as senior at the USRowing National Championships or equivalent level at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta; or who has been a member of a USRowing National Team as a competitor (including as a spare) in the category at issue, other than in a junior or masters events.

·	Classification by Age

Junior  - 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 a 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 grad of secondary school, having been a full time student, whichever is later.

Junior B – A junior “B” even is made up of those juniors who in the current calendar year do not attain the age of 17.

Masters  - You may now win a medal at the Nationals in a senior or elite event and still compete at the Masters Nationals. This is a new rule that went into effect June 5, 2002. It is not reflected in the 2002 rules of rowing. If you have any questions, please contact Jody Pope.

Practice Times – There will be no practice time during the lunch break.

Tuesday: 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Wednesday: 6:00 – 8:30 a.m.; 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Thursday: 6:00 – 6:30 a.m.; no practice in the evening
Friday: 6:00 – 6:30 a.m.: no practice in the evening
Saturday: 6:00 – 6:30 a.m; 5:00 – 8:00 p..
Sunday: 6:00 – 7:30 a.m.

Volunteers 
As always, we need good, quality launch drivers. If you have a little extra time and would be interested in assisting the Local Organizing Committee and the regatta, please contact Leslie Pfiel at lpfeil@op.net.

Thanks again for participating. We look forward to seeing you in Camden County.
