As noted in the Regatta Instruction Bulletin, which can be found on our web site, Wednesday, April 30th is the
deadline for entries and all fees. Affiliate schools are guaranteed one entry in each event entered by the deadline.
Non-Affiliate entries will be accepted on a space-available basis in each event, and on a first-come basis. Due to
the size of the Regatta, double entries in any event will not be accepted except in the Men’s and Women’s
Singles Event. SPECIAL NOTE: In the case of the singles race, athletes will be permitted to row in the event
their coach has selected as well as the singles event so long as times do not conflict.
*To enter the Women’s Varsity Hvwt Eight (Div II) event a boat must be a varsity program at an NCAA Division
II institution. This event is a qualifier for other NCAA competitions and must be kept restricted to this
definition. Other teams that are not NCAA Div II must row in the open event.
**The Women's Varsity Hvwt Eight (Div. III) is open to any program that is eligible for participation in the
NCAA Division III Women's Rowing Championships. Both first varsity and second varsity eights are eligible for
this event. No more than two eights (1st and 2nd varsities) from an institution will be accepted in this event.
Certain events for the 2015 Regatta will be seeded. See the Regatta Bulletin for details. Lane assignment for all
crews other than seeded crews will be a random draw. Second Finals (places 7 thru 12) will be held for the Men's
and Women's Varsity Heavyweight Eight and the Women's Div. II & III Varsity Hvwt 8 finals.
We ask that each team provide 2 student volunteers to help with stake boats. Please email the student’s names and
email addresses no later than Friday, May 1, 2015, to: [email protected].
Please be sure to read the Traffic Bulletin that can be found on our web site and give each of your drivers a copy.
Please be sure to visit our new updated web site at dadvail.org for all of the materials and information needed to
enter the 2015 Regatta and also obtain an Alumni Space Reservation Form.
We look forward to seeing you at the 77th Aberdeen Dad Vail Regatta.
Sincerely,
