Eligibility

[Q] [Our Team] is comprised of younger, development, and novice rowers. We would like to participate in the 3V8+ with athletes that are Novices, but in some cases are no longer U17. We have no other Youth entries. Can we submit an entry for the 3V8+ without meeting the requirement for 1V/2V?

[A] The LOC will consider requests similar to this on a case by case basis.  In general, where a team/club/organization is not competing in other Youth events, the LOC would allow this.

[Q] [Our Team] would like to enter a Youth 4- and a Youth 2V4+. We would not enter a Youth 4+. Is this allowed?

[A] This is allowed subject to the stipulation that the same athletes cannot participate in both events, i.e. the athletes in the 4- must be distinct from the athletes particiating in the 2V+ throughout any progression scenario.

[Q] My child was born on <date>. Are they eligible to compete in the Dogwood Junior Championship?

[A] The Dogwood Junior Championship Regatta follows the USRowing Rules for Youth eligibility. A Youth is a rower “who in the current calendar year does not attain the age of 19, or who is and has been continuously enrolled in a secondary school as a full-time student seeking a diploma. A competitor thus ceases to be a Junior 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.”
