Regatta Fines	Fines are payable for infringements during regattas such as where a crew is a no show; there is no bow number; the bow number is different from the final draw; or rowers are out of uniform. It also applies at any time when Boat Race Officials instructions are ignored or any other breach of the racing rules or behaviour is identified by the BROs. Where a regatta is suspended, fines will not be imposed.	$15 per seat per infringement. The infringements apply because of the significant difficulties such violations cause for regatta management. Higher fines may be set by the Board in serious cases such as where an instruction by a Boat Race Official is deliberately ignored.
