Descriptions of Event Classifications

Novice: A rower who began racing competitively in the spring season of 2015. Junior rowers are considered novice rowers if they began racing after July 1st, 2015.

Master: A Master is a competitor who has attained or will attain the age of 21 during the current calendar year (AA-J). A competitor thus becomes a Master on January 1 of the year of his or her 21st birthday. A Masters crew shall be comprised exclusively of Masters rowers, but the coxswain need not be a Master. A Masters crew competing in the AA category (age 21-26) may not compete in any category other than AA or A. If a crew competes in the A category with AA rowers, it must attain an average age such that it is eligible to compete as an A (or above) age category crew

Lightweight Rowers: There will be no weigh in for lightweight rowers. The expectation is that rowers in the lightweight category will be racing lightweight at Central Districts two weeks later.
