Coaches and participants in the Scholastic Rowing Association of
American Regatta,
The SRAA Board reiterated that the goal of this year's regatta is,
as last year, twofold: A
safe and top quality regatta. The Regatta must be manageable in
size for safety of the rowers and limited as a "Championship
Regatta" to highly competitive boats. To achieve this, SRAA has
again limited the number of entries, retained the Junior and Freshman
event to the lineup but eliminated the Jr. singles.
The following is the slate of events for our 2007 Championship

Events with 18 boats will have two entries from each region with

Events with 12 boats will have one entry from each region
with 5 open slots.
Any slots that are not used by a region will go into the open
category. Teams who can provide evidence of why they should be
considered may petition (petitioning is closed
as of 12/15/07 12:00am) for these open slots. A sub-committee of
the Board of Trustees will review the petitions. Priority will
be given to competitive teams that are not represented by a
region.
Second varsity boats will only be
allowed if the Varsity 8 qualifies and registers. Your second
boat must qualify as well.
Athletes in junior events must not have turned 18 before
September 1st of the current school year.
The Board of the SRAA's appreciates your input and desires to
make this regatta a successful one.
Thank you,
SRAA Board of Directors
