Substitutions

ALL substitutions must be declared by 10 a.m. on race day.

Substitutions may be made on the British Rowing Online Entry system up until the start of the race at 10 a.m. on Saturday 23rd November. Please make your substitutions online if at all possible.

For substitutions involving more than a 50% crew change, or that would make the crew ‘underage’ for their Masters category, please e-mail the entries secretary (vetfoursheadentries@gmail.com) with full details of the proposed change.

Note

For full information on substitutions, see 7-2-4 Crew Composition in the Rules of Racing. In particular, see 7-2-4(e): All Masters crews shall race at their age category as shown in the draw and substitutes shall not be permitted if they would result in making the crew ineligible for that age category.

Crews may not change category once the start order has been published. If a substitute makes a crew ‘underage’ for their Masters category as shown in the start order, the crew will race Time Only.
