New for 2010: Points Trophies

To mark its 40th Anniversary, the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta will introduce four new points trophies at the 2010 event on Saturday and Sunday, October 30 and 31.
 
The trophies will be awarded to those organizations whose boats score the greatest number of wins and places in the High School, College, Open and Masters events respectively; and in addition to the overall points trophy in each of these categories, there will be separate trophies for the organizations whose boats score highest in the men’s and women’s races within the category.
 
Points will be awarded according to the following formula. A gold medal boat will score three points; a silver medal boat will score two points, and a bronze medal boat will score one point. In races where two or more boats register identical times in gold, silver or bronze position, the available points will be split equally between the affected boats.


New for 2010:
Q&A on web site with regular updates

Send your questions to information@hosr.org. Each month one question will be answered on the web site by a local expert in the subject. Feel free to ask questions about the Regatta, the race course, the launching area, the weekend in Philadelphia…

For 40 years the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta has been organized and run by a dedicated group of volunteers. From 22 volunteers in 1971, to more than 200 in 2009, the volunteer corps continues to ensure the regatta’s reputation as one of the premier rowing events in the United States.
