Registration The link
to register for the Winter Sculling Series is on the home page.
Here are some useful tips for registration:
The registration process is designed so that the VSA captures the
information its volunteers need to conduct the series. You will be asked:
- for an email address and for a mobile phone number. The VSA will use
these to communicate with you but will not use this address for non VSA
purposes.
- to create your own password. This allows you to update your event
registration. Note that when you add events to your registration you will need
to pay for these with your credit card.
- to provide your credit card details. The VSA has been assured that Active
Network has a secure credit card processing system.
- to nominate your boat class (racing or tub) and Club or School. If your Club
or school is not listed , select "other" and the VSA will be in touch
with you to add this detail.
- to nominate for events. Note that this is the basis for calculating your
entry fees. You will have the opportunity of updating your registration and
events during the series but it is simpler to do them all at once, and process
one credit card payment.
- to indicate if you need transport from the city to events. The VSA will
coordinate transport as far as is possible. This may carry a small fee payable
to the driver on the day.
Fees:
The annual fee to register with the VSA is $24.00.
The cost
of entering each race is $6.00.
Weekly
Entry Confirmation and Scratching
Having registered and entered for multiple events
over several weeks, competitors must confirm or scratch their race entry by
email to:wintersculling@hotmail.combefore 6.00pm on Monday each week.
We need
confirmations or scratchings to ensure that we include everyone who wants to
race, but not people who don't plan to turn up. These emails should have the
subject shown as follows:
"J.Smith entry 26/7 confirmed" or "J..Smith entry 26/7 scratch", so that the email does not need to be opened by
the person processing entries.
If you do
not confirm your entry, we may not include you in the race for that week.
Entries will be collated and starting order and times finalised in time for
this information to be published on the wintersculling.com.au website by
Friday, under the Draws section of the website. The starting order and times
will also be displayed where bow numbers are collected from 7:30 am Saturday
(for races on the Yarra, usually from MUBC).
No late entries will be accepted,
because this causes delay in race starts,
inconveniencing all competitors.
(Please don't ask to be the exception.)
If you have any queries regarding registration please email
wintersculling@hotmail.com
