| Membership and Registration Fee | Payable by all competitive rowers and coxswains. Life Members of Rowing ACT are not charged membership fees. Registrations will not be charged to athletes who only competes in the Winter Time Trials or the Col Panton regatta OR registers in the ACT for the first time and they only compete in the ACT Championships. | ||||||||
| Seat Fees | Payable by all athletes entered in an ACT event. Athletes registered as competitive are eligible to compete in any regatta in the ACT and across the country. Coxswains may only compete as a cox, and cannot be entered in competitions as a rower. Recreational rowers are not eligible to compete in point score regattas. Whilst the Rowing ACT Board currently does not enforce fines, they may be payable from time-to-time if offences are common. 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 BRO’s. Where a regatta is suspended, fines will not be imposed. | ||||||||
| Who Pays | Under the Rules of Rowing ACT fees are payable by Member Clubs. It is a matter for Member Clubs as to how they structure their membership and other fees. In order for members to be included in any Rowing ACT Insurance coverage, individuals must be registered with Rowing ACT. | ||||||||
