The Wednesday Daysheet has been updated to avoid the clash of G U15 4X+ and G U17 4X+

Wednesday's day sheet: re-row for repechage 2 of event 20 (G N18 2X, race red flagged yesterday), remaining repechages, plus quarter-finals (except event 30), then C Finals and semi-finals for events 1-26 (except event 6).

A reminder that coxswains must weigh in before their first race every day they are racing. Coxed crews need to both make sure their cox weighed in, and also make sure the required deadweight is being carried too.

Tuesday's day sheet: remaining heats plus repechages for events 1-26.

Substitutions and scratchings are now open. Supplementary entries will open opened at 10am on Saturday 9th March 2024.

The entry limits will initially be unchanged (so as to allow late entries from those who are still within the limits).

The crews-per-school-per-event limit will rise by 1 on Monday morning at 9:00am. Then by 1 more on Tuesday morning at 9:00am.

The per student limit does not change for this regatta. Students cannot be entered to row more than 3 events.

IMPORTANT: Scratching a crew that has been drawn into the heats or progressed past the heats does not un-enter the crew. To put a student in a new event when they are already in 3 events you first have to substitute them out of one of their existing events. That leaves them entered to row 2 events and eligible to be entered in a 3rd crew. If you then want to scratch the crew the rower was substituted out of you can do that after you have made the substitution.


You can make online changes until 8:00am on Sunday 17th March, these will reopen once the Daysheet has been produced. All written requests for substitutions and scratchings must be made to the Regatta Secretary Office at the Control Building.

NZSSRA Championships regattas (NISS, SISS, and Aon Maadi Regatta) are sanctioned events by School Sport NZ. By sanctioning these events, School Sport NZ ensures a wide range of quality sport opportunities are accessible to the school sector and, importantly, that schools can have confidence in sending students.

For 2024 and onward a condition of sanctioning will be that ALL event providers must adhere to the following specific clauses:
1. The ability for a school/principal to opt out of broadcasting for their teams at the point of principal sign off; and
2. Events for U15 students will not be broadcast.

Please note: This only applies to U15 events not to other events where U15 students might be competing in such as the U18 novice events.

This information has gone out in the Schools and Clubs Newsletters we would appreciate people also mentioning it to student rowers' parents. The earlier and more widely this information is relayed and the expectation is set, the less chance there is for disappointment later in the season.

If you have any queries regarding this livestreaming policy, please contact Nicki Paterson from School Sport NZ.

The following entry limits will apply:
1. Maximum of 3 events per rower
2. Maximum of 1 crew per school in each event for single sculls and double sculls events and 4 crews in other events.

Starting in 2015, NZSSRA Championship regattas have all operated under the following recommendation:

Number of events per pupil
"After seeking advice from physiologists, leading elite coaches and the NZ Secondary School Sports Council, the Schools Committee makes the following health & safety recommendation:
school age rowers should only be racing two events at a Championships regatta;
a few rowers could be considered for three events; none should be doing more."

The NZSSRA Rules were amended at the 2023 SGM to allow a per-student limit to be put in place (no lower than 3). So there is now limit in place preventing students from being over-entered.
