However, composite teams from different clubs can be entered in the event that a club is short a paddler/s and would be unable to race otherwise. This rule is not intended to put in a SUPERCREW and leave paddlers from your own club on the shore. It is a case by case submission that must be granted by AOCRA NSW Zone, prior to the regatta. If you turn up to a race without prior informing the Zone, you will be disqualified. It is suggested the paddler from the other club wear their own club shirt so they are clearly identified by other teams that this is a mixed club team. Points will be awarded to the club paying the race fee or if both club pay, equal points will be awarded. 3.

competitor at any time.

The Race Committee reserves the right to be the arbiter in any dispute regarding eligibility and registration of competitors. The Race Director’s decision will be final. Every effort will be made to start races and briefings on time. Races will not be delayed for late starters. 7. In the event of a protest the team lodging the protest will be required to fill in a protest form and provide a $50 surety with the Protest Committee. The protest Committee will be made up of 3 persons appointed by the Race Director. In the event of the protest being upheld the aggrieved club will receive the $50 surety back. 8.
