Events

Age-category events for Masters (Veteran) A to K in coxed fours (4+), coxless fours (4-) and coxless quadruple sculls (4x), for open, women's and mixed crews.

• Entry fee £80.

• Mixed crews must contain at least two women (excluding coxswains). Crews with only one woman may race in the open category.

• Composite crews are permitted.

• Medals will be awarded to the winners of events with three or more entries. See Note on handicapping, below.

There will be no novice events.

Once the provisional start order has been published, crews may not change age category or boat class.

It is the responsibility of individual clubs to enter only crews and coxswains that are sufficiently competent to marshal and race. 

Note on handicapping

If adjacent age categories each have only one or two entries, the committee reserves the right to amalgamate these categories and apply the appropriate masters handicap so that the competitors in these categories can race for a medal.

If a category has only one entry, and no adjacent category with which it might be amalgamated, the crew will be offered the opportunity to move down into the nearest available age category. This would be a change of status; handicaps would not be applied. All such offers will be made after close of entries and before the publication of the provisional start order.
