PNRA/Mercer Parents,
Due to the strong possibility of this weekend’s severe weather the regatta organizing committee has decided to defer to our Adverse Weather Plan.
What this means:
- USRowing will race all 34 events using the time trials system beginning at 8:00am on Saturday morning
- Weather permitting, we will progress the races with more than one round
- If we are unable to finish a round, the time trial will determine the order of finish for that event.
- The weather forecast does not appear to allow us to delay the regatta.
- By using the time trial system we will begin racing most events earlier than originally announced.
An updated schedule is being worked on and will be released Friday morning.
Important Information about the Inclement Weather Information:
Communication Plan if schedule changes are necessary due to weather:
– Posted on the results board located at the regatta site
– Online via Twitter, Facebook, RegattaCentral, and the USRowing web site
– Via text message. Coaches, athletes, and parents can register to receive weather related text
messages by texting “USRowing” to 313131.
Crews are responsible for staying updated on any announced schedule changes.
Please direct any questions about schedule changes to USRowing at the registration area. Schedule changes will be made using the following priority system:
- Delay racing either later the same day or to the next day, if time is available.
- Begin racing earlier than previously announced. Announcement will be made no later than 3 hours
before racing or 9:00 PM the evening before in the case of morning racing.
- Utilize a time-trial system for a round of the event.
- Omit a round of the event. The composition of the next round will be determined on the basis of the
results of those rounds that have been completed. If Grand Finals must be omitted, medals and Youth National Championship bids will be awarded based on the results of the last completed round of the event.
- Cancel some or all non-Youth National Championship qualification events. Cancellation priority will be:
- Non-Youth National Championship qualification events that have completed at least one round of racing.
- Non-Youth National Championship qualification events that have not completed at least one round of racing.
- Non-Youth National Championship qualification events that have completed at least one round of racing.
- Cancel regatta.
Under no circumstances will races be rescheduled for a date later than May 14, 2017.
