Waiver FAQ - 2006

This is important waiver information that you need to know.

WAIVER REQUIREMENTS

  1. If an athlete is an individual member of US Rowing and has signed an electronic waiver, and it is on file and is reported as such via RegattaCentral, then they do not need any additional waivers.
  2. If an athlete is not covered by #1, then they should print out a USRA waiver and mail it to us, postmarked by the registration deadline to insure that we receive it in time.
  3. Regardless of  #1 or #2, if a rower is rowing for a club that is a US Rowing club in good standing and if the club has waivers on file for each rower, then this will be reported to us by Regatta Central and no paper waivers are required.  (The club should have a signed copy of the US Rowing waiver form on file for every member of their club to protect themselves during normal operation, and this is what Regatta Central will be using for their report).

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR WAIVERS

  1. The simplest way is to submit your waiver with USRowing.  It will be acknowledged by Regatta Central, and it will be good for a full year, not just for here at the TRR.
  2. Send your waivers to our mailing address, postmarked by the registration deadline September 23rd to insure we receive them on time.  If we don't receive them on time, you'll have to fill them out all over again.  You don't want to do that.
  3. If you satisfy condition #3 of the Waiver Requirements above, then your club and rowers should appear on a Regatta Central waiver report and you need not send or bring waivers.  We won't know if you are qualified until we see the report on Thursday before the regatta, so please don't write to us asking if you are covered, we won't know.
  4. If you bring waivers to registration, this is acceptable.  But due to time constraints at the registration desk, we will ask each coach to sign a legal cover sheet attesting that he or she is providing us with a waiver for each rower.  We simply won't have time to check each waiver individually against your roster.  So get your waivers in order and you can leave the lawyer at home.
