Docking Procedures
To be more efficient in assuring our timetables are met without inconvenience and distress to the athletes and coaches, the following protocol will be followed to make the use of the docks safer and more efficient:
1. All schools hot seating are to report this to the Control Commission and the Dock-Master so they can direct the incoming boat(s) to the section of the dock reserved for outgoing crews, and make sure these boats are docked on the outside. Schools hot seating will not be issued a bow number until reporting to the Control Commission 30 minutes before race time.
2. Only competitors, coaches and their assistants will be allowed on the dock (exceptions allowed at the discretion of the Dock Master).
3. All crews will be required to bring oars with them when launching and people to retrieve oars when docking after racing.
4. Any verbal abuse of Regatta Officials and Volunteers will result in disciplinary action as outlined above.
