Junior Points and Awards
Junior Championship: Men's and Women's team points will be calculated based on the table below, which is similar to the guidelines used by US Rowing. Organizations with multiple entries will only receive points for the highest-placed entry. All boats entered in an event, regardless of what program they are from, will be counted as boats entered in the event when calculating points. There must be at least two entries from different programs in order for points to be awarded toward the overall Junior Championship.
Arizona Junior Championship: Rules same as above, except that there must be at least two Arizona teams in an event to receive points toward the perpetual Men's and Women's AZ State Jr. Champion trophies.
There will be no Junior points awarded for Mixed, Open, or Masters Events. The award ceremony will be conducted near Regatta Central approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of racing.
