Eligibility

1. All competitors in a boat must attend the same high school. Each school must submit a team roster, signed by the school principal or athletic director, listing the names and current grade of all eligible athletes. The team roster is generated by Regatta Central when you register. See the Registration page for details.

    

2. Competitors (including rowers and coxswains) may enter and compete in only one event. Exceptions may be requested for the single sculls if two highly qualified scullers represent the same school.

Acceptance of a second entry in the singles sculls is at the discretion of the regatta committee.

Post-graduate fifth year students (including Grade 13) are not permitted.
