Race Format: All races will be held on 32 connected lanes on new Concept 2 Model D Ergometers. Results will be displayed on enhanced performance monitors and connected to 5 large TV screens placed around the parimeter of the race area. The TV screens may not be visible to all competitors and are largely for the benefit of spectators. For more info on race day procedures click here.

Crew Racing: In Crew events, competitors will sit side by side, and each stroke is averaged toward one boat. A 2:00 split and a 1:30 split results in a 1:45 split. Again the schedule includes the famous Parent - Offspring Double (500m), and Eights Race for University Men and Women's crews (1000m) as well as Recreation Club Men and Women's Four (1000m). There will be no mixed (men and women) crews in the fours or eights. All competitors in a crew will race the full distance listed. It is not a relay format - that would be too crazy!
