The course runs over 800m upstream, approximately from 'Old Blades' to the 'Hole in the Wall'.
The Regatta runs in THREE separate divisions through the day, to provide reasonable opportunities for you to race in more than one event. Doubling up within a division is not allowed, and we have rejected entries that attempt to do so. Divisions start at 9:00am, c 12:30pm and c4:00pm.
Senior events will be divided into bands, using Ranking Points as a guide. If you think your Ranking Points don't fairly reflect your potential, be sure to explain this to us BEFORE entries close on 25th July.
Experienced, top-end fours and quads should expect to race coxless, and less-experienced novice fours and quads should plan to race with a cox. We have had to move or reject some entries that did not follow this guidance.
Junior and Masters events will continue to be classified by age: Masters’ events will be combined using standard handicap rules: Ranking Points will NOT be used.
Doubling up within a division is not allowed, including coxes and boat-sharing, and we will reject any entry that attempts to do so. If you wish to race in more than one event, be sure to select events in different divisions.
The draw takes place at Henley RC on Sunday 26th July.
Entries must be made and paid for on BROE. Entries unpaid by Close of Entries will not be included in the draw.
Entries close at 12noon on Saturday 25th July. We do not accept late entries.

ENTRY INFORMATION:
A. RESTRICTIONS ON ENTRIES
1. If there are less than THREE entries for any Masters category, they may be combined with an adjacent category, and a handicap will be applied. State clearly when you enter on BROE if you do not wish to be re-allocated in this way.
2. No competitor (including coxswains) or boat may race in more than one event in a Division.
3. Doubling up (including coxswains) and boat sharing across Divisions must be clearly notified on the entry: we cannot guarantee it will be accommodated. Tripling up (across three divisions) will only be accepted if space allows.
4. Mixed crews must comprise an equal number of male and female competitors (excluding coxswains).
5. Alumni Eights must contain a minimum of 6 alumni of the relevant institution.
6. All competitors must be registered with British Rowing.

C. THE DRAW
1. The draw will take place at Henley Rowing Club on Sunday 26th July.
2. Senior events (Open, Women’s, Mixed) will be banded at the time of the draw, using Ranking Points as a guide. If competitors believe their Ranking Points do not fairly reflect their potential, they should explain this to us in an email BEFORE entries close on 25th July. We make no commitment to adjust a crew's banding AFTER the draw.
3. The Committee reserves the right to refuse an entry without giving a reason.
D. RACING

Any questions regarding entries can be made to the Entries Secretaries, Adam Wood and Rod Murray: entries@henleytownregatta.org.uk
Under the BR Competition Framework, you only gain Ranking Points for your best event (in a given discipline) in the day. For instance, if you race in a double in one Division, then in a quad or single in the other, you only get RPs for one of those events. Similarly you can mix and match between eights, fours and pairs.
