 In a departure from previous years\, registration will be entirely online t
 his year. Details of the registration and invoicing procedures will be sent

  there will be a virtual scratch meeting on May 26th.  The exact time and a
 ccess details will be provided shortly.
\n
\nNo individual athlete waivers 
 are required for this event.  It is the responsibility of each club to ensu
 re that their athletes are members of either USAC/K (event or yearly) or Ca
 noe Kayak Canada.  USACK event-only memberships\, if required\, should not 
 be submitted to SCKC\, but mailed directly to USAC/K.
\n
\nWe will have a v
 oluntary program of boat control at this regatta. Our current intentions ar
 e to have pre-regatta boat control on Friday evening\, during the scratch m
 eeting\, with post-race checks throughout the regatta. As noted\, boat cont
 rol will be voluntary\, with no impact on race results. We welcome your com
 ments on whether you view boat control as a desirable feature of this regat
 ta\, and how boat control should be handled during the regatta to best prep
 are your athletes for regattas in which boat control is a formal requiremen
 t.  
\n
\nWe will\, once again\, be providing a wonderful Saturday night di
 nner for all event participants\, coaches\, families\, officials\, voluntee
 rs and supporters.  All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
