This regatta is designed to allow athletes to enjoy the end of the High School Season by being able too pay one flat fee too enter, and race as much as they want too all day. The cost per athlete is $15.00 and will give them unlimited races, and a BBQ lunch. To properly budget for the BBQ and manage the flow of athletes we will give each school a wrist band for each registered athlete and coach. We will issue a free “Coach” food voucher for every 4 athletes. This event will be a sanctioned event and overseen by 6 volunteer Umpires. Please be sure your athletes are aware of all the necessary rules of racing.
The course will be a roughly buoyed course with markers approximately every 200 meters. The start will be a floating start approximately 750m East of the dock and will conclude just West of the docks.
Hot Seating
We don’t have an additional hot seating dock so all transitions will be made at the main dock, please have a coach present at the dock when a switch is being made to ensure a safe and speedy change over. Hot seating will only work for races that have a 3 race gap. If you are not able to accommodate all your crews due to a lack of equipment please ask regatta organizers if additional host club equipment is available.
Trailering
All trailers may be parked on the grass to the west of the club, and we ask that only vehicles that are towing trailers go onto the grass, there is ample parking in the lot or on the road.
Race Schedule
Events with launch and race times are attached and will be followed as close as possible. These events are staggered to try to alleviate pressure on boats and athletes. We will be able to race 4 boats at a time. Times will be taken and placement will be determined by time for events with more then 1 race.
Entries
The entry fee for all High School athletes is $15.00 and is payable by cash or cheque to Barrie Rowing Club. The school will receive a wrist band for each athlete and one coach for every 4 athletes who are registered.
Protests
Protests may be made within 30mins of race time, and will require a $50 cash and a written protest submitted to the regatta chair and Chief Umpire.
Uniforms
With only a roughly buoyed course we ask that all crews be sure their supplied bow marked, and their school colors or uniforms are clearly visible. We encourage crews to have fun with their racing outfits but ask that they are tasteful and that there are distinguishable by the other teams and umpires.
Points
Overall Barrie High School Sprints Trophy will go to the team that accumulates the most amount of points. Please note any events with less then 3 entries will be run with another event but will not count towards total points.
First Place = 3 points, Second Place = 2 points, Third Place = 1 point.
Medals will be awarded to the Top 3 crews for each category that races in its entirety, Each category winner will receive a pennant for their school to display, and overall winning team will receive a large pennant to display in their school.
Crew entries are due Wednesday June 8th by noon, draws will be sent out that evening.
Extra draws will be available at the coaches meeting on Saturday morning.
Changes and additions can be made at the event at the coaches meeting, we will do our best to accommodate any request, our priority is giving athletes a quality racing experience.
