              Rule Change for the 2010 John Bennett Regatta
                          Weigh-In for Lightweight & Flyweight Athletes

In an effort to promote safe weight loss practices for athletes and to ensure a fair level of
competition at the regatta, there will be weigh-ins for all Lightweight and Flyweight
events at the 2010 John Bennett Regatta.

We will be using the weight definitions from the Canadian Secondary School Rowing
Association for this event:

Coxswains do not have to weigh in for this regatta.

Scales will open at 7am and will remain open until 10am. All athletes must weigh in as a
crew with their coach or team representative present. Athletes will have the opportunity
to re-weigh if they are within 2 pounds of the necessary weight.

If a person cannot make weight, a substitution can be made on race day or the crew will
have the option to enter the Varsity 8 or Varsity 4 events. If a Flyweight crew cannot
make weight, and all athletes can meet the definition of a lightweight, they will have the
option to move to the lightweight 4+ events.
