A preliminary scheule is posted. A final schedule will be posted the week of the event. Due to entries, start times may alter slighty.

All events are finals only. You will only race once and participants will be seeded, based upon erg scores submitted.

We seed competitors according to their ability as best we can. However, if you are a legitimate contender for a medal, do not assume that the people in your row are necessarily the fastest people in your event.

Row your hardest, best piece, no matter what. We will not entertain complaints that you would have rowed faster if you had your competition rowing next to you. The best time overall will win each event.

Awards are given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finisher in each event (not each flight).

NEW** Junoir TEAM POINT TROPHY and Collegiate TEAM POINT TROPHY.
1st place finisher in an event --- 5 points
2nd place finisher in an event -- 3 points
3rd place finisher in an event --- 1 point

Points will be tallied as the day progresses, and a team point trophy will be awarded to the team with the most points.

**NOTE** Points are awarded in every event, including the coxswain, coaches and team relay events. If interested in winning this award, it would be in your team's best interest to comete in these events.

Masters / Seniors / Veteran: Unless entry numbers are very high, these different events will race at the same time. This is different from 2005. There is no handicap this year. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals will be awarded for each male and female winner in each Master, Senior and Veteran event

All participants and spectators must get a WRISTBAND at the entrance to the Georgia Tech Campus Rec Center. The wristband will allow you access to the 3rd and 4th floor of the building. NO FOOD OR DRINK (meaning drink with straw and lid) WILL BE ALLOWED PAST THIS POINT.

Weigh-in / Check-in opens at 8:30 am and are open up to 30 minutes prior to your race.
Coxswains do not have to weigh-in.

If you are an individual please check in at least 30 minutes prior to your race, if you are a part of your team - please have your coach or head representative check in for all members.

COACHES:

• Check in all your rowers at the registration table.
• A coaches packet (with flight and erg assignments will be handed out at registration)
• Please note that absolutely no additions are allowed 1 hour prior to the official race time.
• Scratches will result in an empty erg. We will not reassign ergs. Ergs are autoseeded based on registration

Warm-Up Ergs will be moved down to the basketball courts outside of the race-room. The indoor track is also available for warm-up.

At the start, follow the instructions on your erg.

In the off chance that your monitor fails to compute during your race, it will not fix itself during the race. Immediately stop rowing and put your hand in the air. If breakage occurs during the first 200 meters of the race, all rowers will be stopped and called back to the start. If breakage occurs after the first 200 meters, nothing will happen. The rower can choose to finish the race (and be taken out of competiton) or pull the whole piece again. If rower chooses to pull again, they must pull in the flight immediately following thier current flight.

As of 2005, there is a new start sequence and new view options on the PM3 Monitor. If you are not familiar with these changes, you can view the race monitor HERE.
