Race Director Center

This page is under development; the intent is to develope a resource center for Sound Rowers Race directors. Our plan is to include:

• Sound Rowers By-Laws (PDF) new!
• Inventory of Sound Rowers equipment
• Washington State PFD requirements
• MRA Safety Guidelines (PDF)
• MRA Waiver (PDF)
• Entry/Release Form (PDF)
• Sound Rowers membership Form (PDF)
• Pre-race planning and equipment checklist (Word)
• Pre-race meeting checklist - what needs to be discussed (Word)
• Post-race processing (Word)
• Post-race Receipts and Expenses Report (Word)
• Reporting race results and write-up checklist
• Incident report form (PDF)

You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the PDF files.

To aid in registration and results calculation, Jeff Knakal has developed an Excel spreadsheet to do some of the work for you. Download this test version if you'd like to give it a try.

Notes from Jeff:
I have preloaded the results from Shaw so you can try it out. Try entering a new entry (or revise an existing one.) If you click on the Gender or Class fields, you are given a drop down list to pick from (which just happens to correspond exactly to the list on the entry form). Or just double click on those fields and the list will appear. You enter times as 12345 and it will appear 1:23:45 (no need to type the colons) When you are done, click on the "Sort Results" button and see what happens. The tabs at the bottom of the page pull up sheets with the results sorted by time or class.

Oh, you might have to 'enable macros' if your computer asks you.

Individual Race Documentation

If you have additional information you think important please add it to our list! If you need something and we haven't posted it, let us know! This area is to help our race directors run their races smoothly and efficiently.
