Who can serve on a regatta Jury?

Question

Accepted Answer

RCA Licensed Umpires (Level 2) who have met all requirements of the RCA Umpire Licensing Policy and are registered and in good standing with RCA and their affiliated Provincial Rowing Association (rule 11.2). Assistant and Associate Umpires may be appointed to support the Jury (and may be on the Organizing Committee) but cannot hold a Jury position, because they have not yet completed the RCA licensing process (rule 11.3). Umpires licensed by another national federation: anyone holding a valid Judge/Umpire licence from a World Rowing member national federation may be deemed equivalent to RCA licensed Umpires for Canadian regattas, and Chief Umpires may assign them to a Jury at any RCA regatta. The Chief Umpire must make sure they know any differences in rules, customs and practices under the RCA Rules of Racing (rule 11.4).
