The Fine Print
*Junior Events – PLEASE READ
A rower can row in the under-17 (U-17) category if they will remain 16 or younger for the entire year of the event they are competing in. To put it another way, if you turn 17 anytime this year, you’re not eligible for U17 and should row in U19. The same goes for U15 and U19
Hampton Roads Erg Pull Rules
- New Concept II® Model D ergometer will be used. You may use the damper setting of your choice, but the setting may not be changed during the race. Warm up Ergs will be available for all participants.
- Rowers will compete as a group. Participants will be seeded, based upon erg scores submitted on the entry form, so that each rower will compete against other rowers of comparable abilities. The best time out of all heats will win each event.
- All races are 2,000 meters except as noted on the schedule above.
- All events are finals. Qualified participants are allowed entries in multiple events.
- The Team Challenge events are set up the day of the event so no pre-registration is required. If an entrant has already paid for an individual entry, then no entry fee is required for the Team Challenge events.
- The Concept II® PM2 Software will be used to establish the winners in each event. These scores will be checked against each ergometer monitor following each race. In the event of a discrepancy between the monitor and the software, the officiating USRA Judge/Referee will make the final determination.
- ERG Scores: Everyone must submit their most recent 2,000-meter ergometer score. Be honest . . . or you’ll be sorry!
- Waivers must be submitted for each participant. Team participants can submit copies of their team waivers.
- Master’s events will be using the USRA handicap formula.
