ENTRY LIMITS AND PROCEDURES MOLESEY AMATEUR REGATTA 2024 

PLEASE READ THESE PROCEDURES VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING YOUR ENTRIES. IT INCLUDES CHANGES FOR 2024. IN PARTICULAR, YOU ARE REMINDED THAT NO UNPAID ENTRIES CAN BE CONSIDERED OR ALLOWED FOR.

BY MAKING AN ENTRY YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPT ALL THE FOLLOWING

1. The Regatta will include a maximum of 140 races. This means that approx. 175 crews will be accepted.

2. The minimum size for a viable event will be 4; within this any Senior event may be subdivided into tiers. For the avoidance of doubt, a viable Masters event is defined as one where there are 4 or more crews spanning no more than 3 age-handicap letters. The only exceptions to this size rule will be a) Garrick doubles and b) any/all eights events, where it will be 2.

About half the events will be pre-allocated to either the morning or afternoon Division – see markers “a” and “p” on grid below; the other events will be placed to even up the Division numbers as much as possible. Doubling is permitted provided that the two events are not both am or both pm.; any doubling involving the events to be placed at the allocation stage will be accommodated if at all possible, provided such doubling is explicitly flagged at the time of entry. Any such doubling that is not so flagged will probably not be possible.

3. Entries to any/all of the published categories will be received until there are there are sufficient crews to form about 145* races (unpaid ones cannot be received as they are by definition incomplete, and will therefore be ignored). BROE will then be suspended for entries – based on recent years, this is likely to be some 7-10 days before the advertised close.

4. The number* mentioned in section 4 will be derived by reference to how close to Draw day (13 July) that part of the process takes place, in expectation of a certain number of withdrawals to arrive at the 140 target. Any withdrawals before the Draw is compiled will be refunded; as usual, this does not apply to any scratches made after the Draw.

6. Efforts will of course be made to contact the designated club representative(s) in the event of any problem with an entry before the draw, either side of and during the Regatta. However, if the designated individual(s) make themselves unavailable by not responding to e-mails and/or not returning ‘phone messages within a reasonable time, the Racing Secretary will proceed as seems most appropriate. 

ENTRY LIMITS AND PROCEDURES MOLESEY JUNIOR REGATTA 2024

PLEASE READ THESE PROCEDURES VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING YOUR ENTRIES. IT INCLUDES CHANGES FOR 2024. IN PARTICULAR, AS USUAL, NO UNPAID ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR ANY REASON. 

BY MAKING AN ENTRY YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPT ALL THE FOLLOWING

1. The Regatta will include a maximum of 140 races. This means that approx. 165 crews will be accepted. 

2. The usual 20 events will be offered, and 3 crews usually required for a viable event Any entries for a non-viable event will be offered a place in the next age group up provided this is consistent with BR Rules. Events will be subdivided above 8 entries.

3. As usual, the three waves will include all of one O boat type and all of one W boat type, the precise order to be advised as part of the draw, and depending on the various numbers of crews across the six groups. Doubling is permitted, subject to 6. below. Trebling is not permitted under any circumstances.

4. In the interests of fairness and the promotion of Junior competition, entries will not close before the published cut-off (12 noon on 13 July). However, also in the interests of fairness, no unpaid entries will be accepted into the draw. Further, a crew (especially a J13 one) should not be put in unless it is completely capable of going to the Start unaided and completing the course in a competent manner. Any crew judged by the Chief Umpire not to be up to this basic standard may well result in the club concerned having its MJR 2025 entry capped.

5. A club may not enter more than 15 crews. If a club enters 10 or more, at least 40% of these must be 4x. For the avoidance of doubt, the respective totals are: min. 4 out of 10, min. 5 out of 11 or 12, min. 6 out of 13, 14 or 15. If at close of entries a club still has more than 15 crews listed, enough 2x and 1x crews will immediately be eliminated to bring the total to 15. The remaining crews will then not be immune to culling under para 6 (below) if numbers are still over capacity.

Given the later date in the month this year, it is possible there might be an under-subscription. If (and only if) this happens, approaches will be made to those with 10 or more crews already entered.  

 

6. As usual, if there is an over-subscription, those removed first will be the smaller boats where the crew is doubling in a larger boat.

7. Efforts will of course be made to contact the designated club representative(s) in the event of any problem with an entry before the draw, either side of and during the Regatta. However, if the designated individual(s) make themselves unavailable by not responding to e-mails and/or not returning ‘phone messages within a reasonable time, the Racing Secretary will proceed as seems most appropriate .
