Where appropriate the Vet Champs will use the Veteran Handicap System as outlined in the British Rowing Almanack.
Deciding where and when to merge races, move crews up or use the handicap system is a black art but, having said that, this note attempts to describe when the handicap system will be used.
If an event gets three or more entries it will go-ahead as a race in its own right and will not be made into a handicap event with crews from a different age category.
An event with two entries MAY be run as a handicapped event with an adjacent event that has either one or two entries in it.
Two adjacent events with just one entry each will be run as a handicapped event.
If an event with one entry cannot be run as a handicapped event with any other event we will move it to another category if you give us an alternative.
If all else fails we will attempt to call you to see if we can move your crew to another event for which it is eligible.
Veteran Intermediate 3 and Veteran Novice events will not use the handicap system. If necessary entries will be merged into adjacent categories to make up races as outlined in the Veteran Championships Rules.
These are the Standard Times that will be used by the National Veteran Championships. They should be used in conjunction with the ‘Veteran Handicap Events Operating Notes’ that can be found in the British Rowing Almanack 2009.
