Eligibility outlines as stated in the packet: 

Junior/Youth Rowers

A crew entered in a Youth event shall include only Youth rowers. A Youth is a Competitor who in the current calendar year does not attain the age of 19, or who is and has been continuously enrolled in secondary school as a full-time student seeking a diploma. A Competitor thus ceases to be a Youth after December 31 of the year of his or her 18th birthday, or of the year in which he or she completes the 12th grade of secondary school, having been a full-time student, whichever is later. Rule 4-104.1.

U-17 Classification 

A rower may compete in the U17 category until December 31 of the year of his or her 16th birthday.  

Novices

Crews entered in novice events shall include only novice rowers. A rower qualifies as a novice provided s/he has been competing for under one calendar year and did not compete in the Head of the Colorado 2023. Novice eligibility for sweep rowing and sculling are not considered separate. To enter a novice event, the rower must have been rowing for under one year and did not compete in the Head of the Colorado 2023, regardless of discipline.

Coxing experience has no bearing on novice rower classification. A novice entry’s coxswain is not required to be a novice.

Masters

Masters’ age categories are defined in USRowing’s 2024 Rules of Rowing. A rower’s “rowing age” is his/her age on December 31, 2024; a crew’s age is the average of its rowers’ rowing ages, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Entries in Masters events must list every rower’s year of birth in order to compete. All rowers in a Masters boat must have a rowing age of at least 21, but the Coxswain need not be a Master.

The Regatta Committee reserves the option to split any Masters event into two or more separate events according to the crews’ age categories.

Masters Crews will be given handicaps according to the boat’s average age
