World Rowing Rules of Racing

Within an age category, a sorting by the year of birth is applied equivalent to the World Masters Regatta. The sorting by year of birth will be done at the draw considering all valid entries by the time of the draw. The sorting within an age category will be done backwards from the oldest to the youngest participant. 

Race divisions

When the number of entries in an event exceeds the number of available racing lanes, the event will be divided into two or more finals. If an event’s age category has one entry only, this crew shall start in the next lower age category.

Mixed races

Mixed crews are crews where half of the crew excluding the coxswain shall be women and half shall be men.

Clothing

Members of the same crew shall compete wearing uniform clothing.

The regulation regarding uniform clothing does not apply for mixed crews.

Crew Changes

Crew changes are possible up to four hours before the start time of the first division of the respective event. A maximum of only half of the rowers of a team may be changed. A crew change is not permitted if the age of the substituted rower would lower the average age of the original team by more than one year or would change the age category of the team. Deviation from the World Rowing Rules of Racing: Substitutes do not have to be members of the same club (or, in the case of racing teams, do not have to belong to one of the participating clubs).

Withdrawals

If a team cannot or does not want to participate in an event, the team must withdraw at as soon as possible.
