  Rules and Definitions:

• Novice: Began rowing after April 21, 2006.
• Lightweight: Men 155 lbs.; Women 130 lbs.
• Varsity: Any rower not eligible as a novice.
• Second Varsity: Crews are only eligible if a first varsity boat is entered in the sametype of event.

• Hotseating boats or rowers requires a minimum of 50 minutes separation, but is always done so at your own risk.  We can not wait for your crew! We strive to run an 'on-time' regatta. Please check the tentative schedule to ensure that you can make all necessary accommodations for the double use of boats, oars, and athletes.
• Please provide bow numbers if you have them.  There are a limited number of extra bow numbers available.
• Please practice with your coxswains and crews the techniques of using a starting platform, including the pointing of their bows – i.e., having two scull with bow's oar or three scull with two's. 
• Coxswains (strokes of bow-coxed boats) must also know that they need to have their hands in the air while they are adjusting their point at the start.
