Entry Limits

The Regatta Committee reserves the right to limit entries to particular events or the regatta as a whole. Where possible priority will be given to a crew/competitors first entry and then second (double) entries will be accepted as space allows.

Double Entries

Will be accepted only as allowed below. The regatta is often over-subscribed and these rules exist to limit entries and to minimise the risk of entries being rejected arbitrarily due to excessive numbers. Wherever possible we will accommodate reasonable boat and cox sharing requests. These must be specified on the online entries system.

Open & Women's Open
Any two events in Elite, Championship, Senior and Intermediate 2 only one of these events can be a long course event (held in the morning).
Junior 16 & 18
two events - one from each of (a) J16/J18 AM, Open/Women's Open long course (8.30 – 12.30 approx); (b) J16/J18 PM (13.30 – 18.00 approx), Elite, Championship, Senior and IM2 short course.
Novice/Intermediate 3
There is no scope for Novice & Intermediate 3 crews to double enter.
Junior 13, 14 & 15
There is no scope for crew double entering in these age groups. Boats/coxes may be shared between AM & PM divisions.

An individual competitor/crew can only be entered in events in one Category as defined above per day.

Please provide a mobile phone number where a senior club official can be contacted over the regatta weekend if the need arises.

Masters Handicap Events

Will be organised in accordance with the guidance provided in the 2011 Masters Handicap Events Operating Notes.

Junior Events

A minimum of three entries from two different clubs are required for an event to be held. If insufficient entries are received, the entries will be placed in the next age group for the class of boat unless an alternative is clearly stated. The Entries Secretary will endeavour to contact Club Secretaries and Teachers i/c of Rowing to resolve any difficulties – please ensure that BROE contact/phone number records are correct.

Change of Status

Clubs should be aware that the draw takes place on June 5th. Crews who change status on Sat. 4th should inform the Entries Secretary before 8.00pm on Saturday 4th and will be entered in the next highest status event.

Novice Entrants

Crews entering Novice status events must have demonstrated a commitment to racing. Typically a crew must have entered and competed in two regattas earlier in the season. Please provide details in the notes section of your entry. The Regatta Committee will consider each case on its own merits and its decision is final.

Novice & Intermediate 3 winners on Saturday

The Sunday draw will allow space for winners in men's & women's 8+ and 4+ on the first day of Durham Regatta to accommodate change of status due to the win.

Cancellation Policy

In the unlikely event of cancellation or suspension of the regatta entry fees will not be refunded.

DRAW: Will take place at 15 Glebeside, Witton Gilbert at 10.00am on Sunday June 5th.
