CONDITIONS OF ENTRY

• The Women's Head accepts women's crews only. Men are allowed to compete only as coxes.

• Minimum age restriction: All competitors must be at least 15 years of age on race day.

• Front-loader (bow-coxed) boats are not allowed.
  

The Women's Head is run in accordance with British Rowing's Rules of Racing. More information is available from British Rowing.

CLOSE OF ENTRIES

• Entries will close either at 8pm on Friday 10th February 2012 or once 315 paid & complete entries have been accepted, whichever is the earlier.
  

Unfortunately, late entries cannot be accepted. Please also note that we do not run a waiting list.

• The start order will be published shortly after entries close. During the following 72-hour period, crews will be able to notify the Entries Secretary of any errors to the entry(s). During this time the Online Entries system will be frozen so that no substitutions can be made. Only errors with regard to Pennants (Club, University, etc.) can be corrected during this time.
  
It is the responsibility of the crew to ensure that they have been entered into the correct Pennant category. Any Pennant-related errors or omissions notified to the organisers after the 72-hour period will not be changed.

• After the 72-hour period the Online Entries system will be opened again so that changes to crew order and substitutions under the British Rowing Rules of Racing, 2-3-4, can be made. Any substitutions which would change more than half of the crew will only be permitted on the basis of medical evidence produced by the crew or its club and must be agreed with the Entries Secretary.

AWARDS

• A minimum of 4 crews must enter and 3 must row for any award to be presented. However, this may be waived at the Committee's discretion.  Each case will be taken on its merits.

• No crew may win more than one WEHoRR award.

• In the event of a tie, the higher-numbered crew takes precedence.
