Rowing is a sport exercised in the outside, therefore the weather could have a big impact. During the regatta this might impact the safety and fairness of the match. For a fair judgement of impactful conditions, a commission is instated and present at the regatta. The commission exists of coaches, rowers and organisation members of different regattas. They will monitor the impact of the weather and fairness on the course, during the regatta.
Om te zorgen dat op de wedstrijd de communicatie aangaande het weer en zijn invloed zo soepel mogelijk verloopt, maken we ook dit jaar weer gebruik van een systeem met weercodes. De actuele weercode wordt gecommuniceerd via de website en Time-Team.
The coding is as following
Green
Normal conditions.
Yellow
Forecast calls for possible difficulties. The situation is being monitored, regulations may follow.
Oranje
Forecast calls for adaptations or regulations, impacting the schedule and/or progress of the regatta.
Red
Forecast calls for partial or full cancellation.
In case of a code Yellow or code Red, please refer to the website, Time-Team or social media. Communication concerning eventual adaptations or regulations on the regatta will take place at specified moments in time. This is explained further in the Fairness protocol.
