Failure to adhere to anti-doping rules and requirements may result in an athlete losing eligibility to compete for the United States.
Selection Eligibility:

• All competitors must be current Championship or Legacy Members of USRowing and have a signed liability waiver on file.
  • A reminder that in order for your membership to be considered current, you must have completed safe sport in the year of the event.

Athletes will not be permitted to launch if they are not in compliance with these requirements. To renew or create a Membership, go to www.usrowing.org and click on "Join" or contact member services at 1-800-314-4ROW. To sign your waiver and Anti-Doping Acknowledgement, go here.

Membership staff will not be on-site, so it is important to ensure compliance in advance of the event.

Electronics:

At the upcoming speed orders, it will be possible for competitors to use any chosen data collection method not normally permitted by the World Rowing Allowable Electronics rules.

That means, you may use Smart oars, Empower oarlocks, and the like.

Of import, please note that there is still no real time transmission of that data allowed. So, you may review the data collected after the racing, but you may not transmit anything to or from the boat in real time.

Safe Guarding:
The Safe Guarding Officers for this event will be announced closer to the event date.
