Masters Regatta Event Programming

The following regatta program has been developed for Masters #1, #2, #3 and Masters State Championships. Start times are estimated based on the entry predictions and are subject to change. However, minimum time gaps as outlined below will be preserved between races. Masters age groupings may also vary depeneding on the number of entries. Participants are also eligible to complete in single gender and mixed gender events at the same regatta, providing 12 racing opportunities for women or men. Obviously time (and human capacity!) will not allow for someone to compete in all 12 events and individuals will need to select their priority events (ensuring enough time between these races to recover and prepare accordingly).

'Novice' is defined as a rower who has less than 2 years of rowing experience (excluding Learn to Row and Come and Try Days). Novice rowers can also row in non-Novice events.

Full programs for all regattas can be found here.

The table below will show how you can achieve maximum racing for those competitors in each grade whilst having enough time between events.

The time interval is set at 25 minutes.

- If a 'Good' appears in the following race it show that there is a minimum of 25 minutes prior to the next race.

- If a 'Bad' appears you have less than a 25 minute turn around.

For example, if you were a Masters Woman in the A-D grade range, you could possibly race in 7 of the 8 races in your grade with a minimum of 25 minutes between each race.

If you were a Masters Man in the E-M grade range, you could also race 6 out of 8 races in your grade with a minimum of 25 minutes between each race and so on.
