What sanctions can the Jury impose, and how are they announced?

Under Rule 74 a member of the Jury may impose these sanctions for a breach of the rules:

• Reprimand: a formal admonishment that may be taken into account for any further breach at that regatta.
• Yellow Card: a formal warning that applies to the crew's next race at that regatta and lapses only when that race is concluded (so it still applies after a postponement or re-row). Two Yellow Cards applying to the same race become a Red Card and exclusion from the event.
• Relegation (REL): last place in a race, where the rules specifically provide.
• Red Card or Exclusion (EXC): out of all rounds of the event, for a serious or repeated breach.
• Disqualification (DSQ): out of all events in the regatta, for the most serious breach.

Announcing (By-Law to Rule 74):

• The crew is informed immediately or as soon as possible.
• The Starter announces a Yellow or Red Card before the crew's next race, giving the sanction, the nature and timing of the breach, any other important facts, and the name and function of the Jury member who awarded it. If the crew is not yet on the water, the Jury member announces it at the outgoing pontoon where in principle the crew boats.
• A crew given a Red Card, excluded or disqualified does not take part in the race once notified.
• Results show DSQ, EXC, REL or BUW (Boat Underweight).
• A sanction for conduct of a race is valid only if awarded and communicated no later than one hour after the race concludes. Sanctions from the Control Commission after the race, the Board of the Jury, Rowing Australia or the Para-Rowing regulations are not subject to that limit.
• The President of the Jury also reports the breach and sanction to Rowing Australia.
