Substitutions
Before the race
Substitutions may be made on the British Rowing Online Entry system up until 10 pm on Saturday 5th November. If at all possible, please make your substitutions online to save having to queue up on race day.
For substitutions involving more than a 50% crew change, or that will make a crew 'underage' for their Masters category, please contact the entries secretary - vetfourshead@googlemail.com - with details of the proposed changes.
At number collection
There will be a separate desk for substitutions at Tideway Scullers School. If you wish to make a substitution, you must go to this desk before collecting your number, between 9 a.m. and 11.30 a.m.
Number collection and the substitutions desk will close at 11:30 a.m. on race day. All substitutions must have been made by this time.
Notes
All substitutions must be accompanied by a valid racing licence. Substitutes must be a member of the club for which they wish to race: this must appear either on their racing licence, or on the online entry system. This will be checked online on the day.
If a substitute does not appear as a member of the appropriate club on the British Rowing online system before the race starts, the crew will be designated Time Only. Please make sure that your potential substitutes have contacted British Rowing to register as a member of the appropriate club in advance of the race.
No status changes will be permitted. If a substitute makes a veteran crew ‘underage’ for their status in the draw, the crew will race Time Only.
Crews in the non-veteran events must have a minimum of four points in the appropriate discipline (sweep or sculling) on race day. Under-pointed crews will not be permitted to race.
