PROGRAMS ELIGIBLE:MJRA members must have paid their annual duesof $30.00 and submitted an annual team information update to MJRA by May 4,2008.See classifications for the MJRAdefinition of“team”.

The intent of the MJRC is toestablish the fastest boats within the MJRA district and establish qualifyingboats for the USRowing Youth National Championships in June.Only one out-of-district entry will bepermitted to race in any event.Out-of-district entries for events will be accepted on a first-come,first serve basis. Out-of-district entries will be placed in the seventh lanethat includes six MJRA boats. In all progressions no MJRA boat will beprevented from advancing by an out-of-district team, in these situations theseventh lane will be used.In the eventthat a tie, protest, or other unforeseen issue requires the inclusion of anin-district crew to be placed as a seventh boat in a final, for which anout-of-district crew has qualified, the out-of-district crew will be eliminatedfrom racing.

Although the objective ofallowing an out of district boat to participate in a MJRC race is to escalaterace competition, all issues regarding the fairness of accommodating thein-district crew will take precedence over an out-of-district crew.
