A world cup style event

This event differs from usual regattas. The World Cup style concept involves a team competing in both Mixed 20s and Open and women 10s crews across a range of distances:

• Clubs enter a ‘fixed’ team of up to 28 paddlers (including sweeps, drummers, and emergencies) in a category. All paddlers must be entered on the team list. This list is set at the start of the competition and remains the same over the two days.
• age categories – Juniors (10-18 maximum*); Premier (no age restriction); Seniors 40+, Seniors 55+, Breast Cancer Participants and All Cancer Participants (no age restriction and modified program) Note* - by 31 December 2024
• Build your own team; composite teams are allowed ...... call on old paddlers outriggers (anyone you like, to be honest!). If they are not a member, they can use a DBV dragon pass.
• Sweeps and drummers can be out of age, and any gender.
• maximum two teams per club per category
• all teams compete in a suite of 100m sprint , 200m really , 500m and 1km pursuit 
• all events will be in Peisheng 20s boats.
