- Lightweight Policy – The PSRA strongly
advocates for the safety of lightweight weight rowers
competing in the all PSRA regattas. In order to prevent
possible injury (or worse) to any athlete, the PSRA is
requiring all teams competing in lightweight events to
submit a Lightweight Certification Letter to the PSRA
before any lightweight rower can compete. This
certification ensures that an athlete has been weighed
at least four weeks prior to competition and has been
medically cleared to compete safely at the prescribed
lightweight limits. All schools must submit proof of
Lightweight Certification for all competing lightweight
athletes. This can be in the form of a letter from the
school stating the names of all students competing and
that all athletes have been cleared by appropriate
medical personnel to compete in lightweight races. For
the 2008 season, the certification must be submitted no
later than March 20, 2008 to the offices of the PSRA.
- Swim Test Requirement – All schools must
submit proof of swimming proficiency for all competing
athletes. This can be in the form of a letter from the
school stating the names of all students competing and
that all have passed a swimming proficiency test. This
letter must be received by March 10, 2008 for students
to be eligible to compete at the start of the racing
season.
- Gender Specific Racing – Gender Specific
Racing will begin with the 3rd Flick. Girls will race in
the mornings and boys in the afternoons at the 3rd and
5th Flicks; boys will race in the morning and girls will
race in the afternoon at the 4th Flick.
- Scratch Fees – A scratch fee equal the entry
fee for that event at the Philadelphia City
Championships will be assessed for each scratch entry,
