CTC Tough Cup Race Packet & Information
CTC Tough Cup Information The Tough Cup is back and happy to announce the 2013 addition. Racing will be held on the South Branch of the Chicago River from Pulaski to Damen (see map attached) in normal head racing format. All entries have been addressed and the race procession has been organized. Attached here too is the event list and boat numbers. The purpose of the Tough Cup is to bring the Chicago Rowing Community together and help support the further development of Chicago s waterways for positive recreation and use. Since 2009 Chicago Training Center has used the south branch of the Chicago River System to train its participants and this regatta allows us to highlight the daily training path we follow. In the name of inclusion the trophy is a points based trophy that not only uses the results on the water but also a land focused event to round out the day. Regatta Location 2800 S. Eleanor St, Chicago IL, 60608 Coaches and Coxwain Meeting Meeting will be held at 6:45am at the race site. I suggest all rowers and coaches arrive at the site at 6am to prep for the race and meeting. First race hits the dock at 7:30am (for an 8:15am race time) and with the number of boats entered we will progress through the staging at a quick rate. Dock Master reserves the right to scratch crews that show up late and are unable to boat in a timely manner (will be determined and disused at meeting). Points System There is no designation between Varsity and Novice for this regatta. All entries submitted must be in ranking order of speed. Points will only be awarded to crews that finish in the top 3 per event inclusive. The same points scheme works for the land challenge. All entrants are encouraged to row twice. Cost The cost for the event is $250 per team entry irrespective of number of boats entered. This offsets the medals, trophy, referees, and incidentals for the event. Please make a check payable to Chicago Training Center and present when registering your team day of. Waiver Please see the attached waiver here. Please have your competitors fill this waiver out in full and present it when you register your team. T-shirt Purchase CTC will be organizing a regatta tshirt that can be purchased day of. This commemorative t-shirt will feather artwork by noted urban artist Brendan Dooley and be a limited run used specifically for this regatta. Cost of the shirt is $20. Food Every attempt will be made to secure a food truck for the day s event but all clubs are allowed to bring their own food supplies should they want. Space for tent erection is plentiful on the site. Please see the site diagram for more detailed information.
