Withdrawals Crews or scullers not intending to race must lodge a withdrawal form (Schedule 14) with the referee not later than 30 minutes prior to the first race of their event. Failure to do so will attract a fine. Withdrawal forms are to be handed in at Boatshed 1. START: At the Start, lane # 1 is on the left hand side looking from the start to the finish. The start signal and recall signal will be by horn blast. The Starter will advise the procedure for starting. Crews will be dispatched by the starter saying “attention” followed simultaneously by the horn and green disc indicator. The Umpire's signal to stop rowing will be the waving of a red flag. All crews must be in the starter's control (and must have reported) 5 minutes before their event. Where heats/divisions are drawn, this is five minutes before the first heat/division. To achieve this, crews should be boating from the outgoing pontoon near the finish line approximately 30 minutes before their race. Latecomers will not be allowed on to the course. FINISH: The first crew to cross the finish line will receive a horn blast, other crews crossing the line will also be acknowledged by the finish horn.

The Weigh-in will be conducted in the Finish Tower. COXSWAINS: Coxswains must be weighed in before their first race by a duly appointed Boat Race Official.
