3. Rules

 I write it about a rule of the rowing today.

 I explain a position of the crew first. It call the rower who is the nearest to a bow a bow and call it with the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh and a stroke sequentially. When the stern is located facing a stroke most to stop by, the cox may be located so that the bow depends back to back with a bowman.

 

 Then I explain the rule in the race of the rowing. The crew has a rule not to have to wear uneven clothes with the uniform which I unified on the occasion of an appearance row. By the National Athletic Meet and the inter high school athletic meet, there is the check of clothes before a race and is not gone for a game when I do not pass it. As for the hat, as for the Hachimaki, all the members must be the same.

 There is the meeting that the weight is fixed at. By the competition of the lightweight, it does not matter in a kind of boats and arranges the weight restrictions of the rower including the uniform. The average weight of rowers is 70 kg or less and a boy is less than 72.5 kg in the personal weight. Rowers of the single scull are less than 72.5 kg. The average weight of rowers is 57 kg or less and a girl is less than 59 kg in the personal weight. Rowers of the single scull are less than 59 kg. The weight restrictions of the coxswain are the same as an open competition. Including a uniform, boys are 55 kg or more, and girls are more than 50 kg.

  It is a competition method next. It brings each boat in start deck every line. I start by a command called “attention, go” of the starter all at once. A position group name is called at the time of the start. For example, ”Tsukuba University, Waseda University, … attention, go” it is such a thing. However, a command hangs immediately without wind being strong and being called when the direction of the ship is not decided. “Quick start” means this. And victory or defeat is decided with the order that Top Ball of the finish line earlier of ships. When I own the report of the underweight of the ship and the member change or radio communication equipment and face a race, I am disqualified. When I make 2 degrees premature start and interfered with other ships during a race, it becomes the exclusion.

 Will it be such a place?
