Additional Information: Completing the Entry Form

Rank

If entering more than one boat in an event, choose which rank to assign to each boat (the "A" boat is typically fastest).

Entering the Line-Up

Start typing the name of the athlete and a list of options will show up if you have access to athletes through the team-wide roster. If you do not see a list of options, type the first and last name then hit the 'tab' button on your keyboard to open the pop-up window where you can provide more information about the athlete. If the information matches a record in the team-wide roster it will latch onto the existing athlete record and give you future access to the record through the entry form and 'roster' link on the Home page.

USRowing Waiver Status

If your club is a USRowing member organization then the USRowing waiver status will appear next to the athlete's name as you add them to the entry form. Select the record with the most current waiver. If you see multiple records for the athlete, go to your 'Roster' and 'merge'.

RCA Member Numbers

If your club is a Canadian organization you will see an RCA number if it is available. The RegattaCentral entry form and roster communicate with the RCA member database when an athlete record is added or modified. The RegattaCentral system will fill in the athlete's RCA number if a matching record is found in the RCA database.

Options Section

  • Customize your Line-Up Visibility if you want to hide the names in your entries until the registration deadline or until the regatta. *If you are entering a singles event you will not be able to hide the name of the athlete.
  • Select the blade that represents your club. Blade designs are maintained by OarSpotter.
  • Designate the coach and/or write a small biography of the crew (this information is typically used by announcers). These options can be set to required by a regatta admin.

Additional pages with helpful entry information

  • Composite Entries
    • The term "composite entry" is used to describe any crew which represents more than one team or club. The entry process is slightly different for composite crews because each rower's affiliation (team, club, organization, etc.) must be indicated on the entry form.
