The ARA points system dictates the Senior events, Age ranges dictate the Junior and Veteran Events. The ARA points system awards a point for each qualifying win. Sculling and Rowing are treated seperately - hence a rower has a points total for sculling and a points total for rowing. This is limited to maximum of one point awarded per year. Points are updated at the end of the days racing.
Rowers also have novice status.
In senior events the number of points are added together and the points total of the crew dictates the event to enter. The table below shows the maximum number of points in each event. Junior A events are offered in some events. These are for crews who have won a qualifying junior event for the rest of their time in that age band, i.e. someone who has won a J15 event with four or more entries will be unable to enter J15 B events. Veteran events are offered.
