Miami International Regatta

  • Hosted By: Miami Rowing and Watersports Center, Inc.

Club Registration with USRowing:

For our insurance to cover you, each club entering must be a current member of USRowing.  Unaffiliated individuals must be individual members of USRowing.  Please make sure your membership is current.

EVENTS  MAY  CLOSE  EARLY:

It is anticipated that some events may see significant entries, usually in DOUBLES.

In order to complete racing at a reasonable time, we will probably have to limit the number of flights per event to three, which would mean a maximum of  TWENTY EIGHT entries per event for the actual races.  If some events are under-subscribed, we may be able to add additional flights.

We reserve the right to close some events before the deadline if necessary.
 

RACE COURSE

Events will be  1500 m. start AT THE Rustin Pelican AND FINISH 300 METERS PAST MRC

There will be 7 lanes and the course will be buoyed every 100 meters
    

    JV RULE

Teams must enter their fastest crews on the Varsity level, 2nd fastest crews on the JV level .This applies to the same sized boats (a JV8 requires a V8 entry just as a JV4 requires a V4 entry). If a lower class boat records a faster time than its higher level boat, the LOC may investigate & choose to eliminate boats from the event. 

The Miami Invitational Organizing Committee reserves the right to examine race times and may  disqualify a team which is found don't follow this rule. 

A team may enter lightweight & freshmen events without entries in the other levels
