As always, Westerville Crew Rowing Club will continue to make every prudent effort to stage all races as closely as possible to the published schedule, provided that prevailing conditions, even if challenging, still allow for safety and fairness for all.

In order to stage the Regatta, Westerville Crew Rowing Club undertakes financial obligations in advance of the event, financial obligations which must be honored. Accordingly, if the Regatta must be cancelled, whether in whole or in part, there will be no refunds and no credits issued toward future Regattas. The Refund Policy applies to all parties participating in the Regatta in any, as well as every capacity.

UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT 

Unsportsmanlike conduct is a serious violation and will not be tolerated. Athletes, coaches, parents, and team representatives are responsible for their behavior while at the regatta site or on the water. Any abuse or profanity directed at volunteers, regatta officials, park staff, LOC members, or other regatta participants will be reviewed by the Regatta Director and Safety officers of the regatta. Penalties can range from single boat exclusion to entire team disqualification from the regatta and potentially from future regattas.

WEATHER

It is possible that weather may impact racing.  If this is the case the following strategies may be taken to accommodate the conditions:

• Delay of launching, particularly with fog or storm conditions.
• Cancel small boat events, especially in high wind conditions.
• Reduce the length of the race course with modified centers
• Regatta canceled
• As information is gathered and decisions are made, participants will be informed via the PA system and the onsite Coaches GroupMe. If at any time participants are not receiving the information they need, questions may be asked via the GroupMe, at Control Commission, or at the race headquarters at the pavilion at Walnut/Sunbury Road, and answers will be provided as soon as possible.
