  • MAKING PROGRESS a Guide to the New ARA Points Scheme for Event Organisers
    NATIONAL COMPETITION COMMITTEE EVENT ORGANISERS’ GUIDE MAKING PROGRESS April 2009 A Guide to the new ARA Points scheme for Event Organisers INTRODUCTION The purpose of this guide is to explain the detailed changes to the ARA points scheme that apply from April 2009, and to provoke your thinking on how best to structure your event to take advantage of the changes. If you have any questions about the mechanics of the new scheme, or want to pursue some of the ideas for developing your event referred to in this guide, please get in touch with the National Competition Committee – either directly or through your ARA Divisional Representative. THE CHANGES For the past three years the National Competition Committee has been trying to address the growing problem of an imbalance in the distribution of points amongst the ARA’s 13,000 registered adult competitors. Under the present scheme there are 14 levels (Novice and then 0‐12 points), and yet half those competitors are Novices, and 90% have less than 5 points. We wanted simple, effective remedies, and the April 2009 changes are just that: they’re easy to understand and easy to implement. It means that when you go racing, you’re more likely to meet evenly matched competition, and that as you move up the points table, you’ll continue to get some decent racing. By far the simplest solution is to award more points to more winners, and so make full use of the points table. And the simplest way to achieve that is to turn most wins into qualifying wins: this change alone will double the number of points won each year at ARA regattas.

  • The “HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA”
    The “HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA” Storia La “Henley Regatta” si tenne per la prima volta nel 1839; da allora, eccetto che nel corso dei due conflitti mondiali, essa è stata ripetuta ogni anno. Nelle intenzioni del sindaco di Henley-on-Thames che la volle, la gara fra imbarcazioni a remi lungo il tratto di Tamigi che bagna tale delizioso borgo dell’Oxfordshire doveva invero costituire semplicemente uno dei vari momenti di divertimento, insieme a giostre e altri generi di attrazioni, di un annuale festival cittadino; nel volgere di pochi anni, però, la componente remiera della festa sarebbe diventata l’esclusivo motivo d’interesse per la folla colà convenuta. Nella sua prima edizione, la Regatta - che è articolata in vari “eventi” (tornei), a ciascuno dei quali è associato uno specifico trofeo - si svolse nell’arco di un solo pomeriggio. L’iniziativa tuttavia incontrò un tale favore tra i canottieri britannici che già dall’anno successivo - dato l’elevato numero delle iscrizioni e, di conseguenza, delle gare eliminatorie - per il suo svolgimento occorsero due giornate; nel 1886 la durata della manifestazione dovette essere estesa a tre giorni e poi a quattro nel 1906. La competizione diventò via via popolarissima anche a livello internazionale, fino ad essere considerata, nella prima metà del secolo scorso, una sorta di campionato mondiale (il primo Campionato del Mondo ufficiale sarebbe stato indetto dalla F.I.S.A. 1 soltanto nel 1962, con sede di svolgimento a Lucerna). Nel 1928 le richieste di iscrizione superavano ormai di gran lunga il limite massimo e da allora è pertanto prevista una fase di preselezione, che si svolge una settimana prima della Regatta .2 Essa nel 1986 è stata altresì portata a cinque giorni, 1 Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d'Aviron , ossia la Federazione internazionale di canottaggio.
