RE: FSRA Regatta Committee Race Packet

At this summer's FSRA Annual Meeting, the FSRA membership instituted a
Regatta Committee to decide certain details of the 2007 FSRA State
Championship.

The committee consisted of nine members including the 2006-2007 FSRA
Executive Committee consisting Tom Lineberry (VP), Pat Casey (Treasurer),
Tess Durant (Recording Secretary), Brice Crossley (Corresponding Secretary),
and myself (President). Additionally, the committee included Matt Abel
(Plant), Kirsten Anderson (OARs), Dan Kempinger (University) and Mike
Vertullo (Winter Park).

The Regatta Committee worked within the policies embraced at this year's
meeting, namely to move to a two-day regatta with finals on Sunday morning.

The attached document is the regatta packet for the 2007 State Championship.

Changes/topics include:

1. Progression - Adoption of progression system employing a combination of
heats, reps, semifinals and finals depending on the number of entries in
each event.
2. Seeding - In conjunction with a revised progression system, the use of
seeding system based on performance in spring regattas.
3. Events - both men's and women's entries for 1x, 2x, 4x, 1V4+, 2V4+, LV4+,
1V8+, 2V8+, 3V8+, F8+
4. Event schedule - Adoption of a standardized event sequence that will be
followed for all heats, reps, semis, and finals. All finals and petite
finals will be held on Sunday.
5. Doubling - Maintaining doubling rules at one sweep event and one sculling
event.
