2010 TRIBUTE EVENTS
30 minutes prior to the coxes meeting please at all Tribute events. Anyone interested in becoming an umpire, please attend and make yourself known to Peter Fisher
START PROCEDURE
Controlled starts that make them fair and take no longer than 5 minutes
Any crew within 3 lengths of the start line before the flag goes up will be sent to the beach before the race even starts.
Crews will be in some kind of order 3 lengths behind the line then the flag is raised, that is when crews can come up into line.
From the time the flag is raised, there is up to 5 minutes for the race to start, after that the flag drops anyway (anyone over the line is dq)
If a line is achieved during the 5 minutes, the flag will drop.
The ideal is that the crews come up from 3 lengths down together and then the starts will take no time at all. Anyone pushing the line and not taking the instructions from the starter has 3 warnings, the forth time that crew is called they will be told to go to the beach.
When a line is achieved the call will be 'oars out of the water', this is expected to happen (to stop any running starts) any bow that presents its self between the starter calling that and go will again be dq.
