<p>Additional notes:</p>

<p><strong>Rosters:</strong>&nbsp;e-mail is preferred! Please send them to <a href='mailto:laurarothman@gmail.com?subject=MPSRA%20roster'>laurarothman@gmail.com</a>.&nbsp;The roster must be signed by a school administrator (Principal or Athletic Director) and list all athletes, verifying that each one is a current student. The signature should be on the SAME SHEET as the roster itself.</p>

<p><strong>Waivers:</strong>&nbsp;This is a USRowing-registered regatta and all athletes must complete the USRowing waiver. Please check in RegattaCentral to ensure that all of your entries and lineups are compliant.</p>

<p><strong>Lineups:</strong>&nbsp;Please endeavor to submit your correct lineups to RegattaCentral no later than October 26th (for accurate information in HereNow). Your FINAL, CORRECT lineups must be listed in RegattaCentral no later than October 29th (the day before race day).</p>

<p>A reminder: athletes (rowers and coxswains) may not double race at the Fall Championship, except between sweep and sculling events. There is also an exception for coxswains in lower (2N8, 2N4, 3N8) novice events: for safety reasons, you may use (including doubling) varsity coxswains into these events ONLY. In the 1N8 and 1N4 it will be the usual rule of novice coxswains only, and no doubling up.</p>

<p><em>We WILL be checking rosters, waivers, and lineups!</em></p>

<p>In addition, please remember that athletes are not permitted to compete with other teams during the Championship seasons (Fall &amp; Spring). If they do, they will be ineligible for States. This seems to be an issue during the Fall season, when adult/masters teams are often looking for junior coxswains. If any athlete (rower or coxswain) races with any other team during the season, they may not race with your team at States!</p>

<p><strong>Payments:</strong>&nbsp;Payments are requested online via RegattaCentral BEFORE race day! If you are not able to pay online, please bring your check (or proof of payment) on race day prior to the C &amp; C meeting. Teams will not be allowed to race if payment (or proof of payment) has not been received.</p>

<p><strong>Questions?</strong> Please consult the <a href='http://mpsra.org/wp-content/uploads/MPSRA-By-Laws.pdf' target='_blank'>MPSRA by-laws</a> first, then contact MPSRA Secretary <a href='mailto:laurarothman@gmail.com?subject=MPSRA%20Fall%20Championship%20question'>Laura Rothman</a> if you have further questions.</p>
