Finals Only

We have a finals-only format in ALL events with the exception of the 8-person Team Challenge, which is single elimination.

Ergometers

Concept 2 Model "D" ergometers will be used for competition. Competitors may use the resistance setting of their choice, but may not change it during their race.

Adaptive Athletes

Adaptive athletes will be classified according to the FISA guidelines please click here to view FISA adaptive rowing classification guidelines (http://www.concept2.com/us/communities/adaptive/fisa_adaptive.asp).

Adaptive athletes must provide their own adaptation-specific equipment. Seating for one assistant will be provided within the race area.
