There are several reasons for the order of events as given. For example, all the girls and boys sculling events were grouped together by gender to prevent cheating on the no doubling rule and all the sculling event were not grouped together as a whole to allow doubling of equipment. To achieve this doubling of sculling equipment, we grouped all the Frosh and 3rd eights together, which in turn again helps prevent cheating on the no doubling rule for the lower class events.
As Patrick stated in his earlier response, our state championships have been undergoing significant changes the last couple years after decades of only minor rule changes. The committee used the membership's input from the annual meeting as a guideline to put together this year's program. However, there is more that was suggested and can be done but the committee came to a logical stopping point. We felt it best to run the regatta with the fundamental changes made so far and use the experience to guide future work.
I will be soliciting feed back immediately following the completion of the event. This will allow the committee to work over the summer and present a concise plan at the next fall meeting.
Thanks, Brice

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.
TO: FSRA Coaches 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.
