After looking over the regatta packet, I would like to make some suggestions about the order of events. In the interest of making a schedule that can be used in years to come with less "overhauling", could all the races follow the same pattern; ie all sculls done in the morning,
all sweeps progress from Freshman through Varsity, and all races alternate boy/girl or vice versa?
Moving all the sculling to the morning
will also help promote sculling as well as giving teams more time between the sculling and sweep events. This will allow teams to enter more of both events. Also the Lt4+ should follow the JV events since Lt4+ is considered a championship event at nationals.

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.
