Viennautica/Wiener Achter, Vienna (May 16, 2015)
Main Rules:
Upon registration for the first cup regatta of the year, teams must indicate their CAPITAL CUP participation. Cup winner will be the team which achieves the fastest added time of all three regattas in its handicap. Time penalties will be included in the cup’s classification. The winning team receives a challenge cup which has to be returned before the last cup regatta of the following year. The races are open for Men’s, Women’s and Mixes teams in all age classes. Eligible are Eights and Octuple Sculls. At least four rowers of one team must take part in all three cup regattas of the year. The other rowers may change in any order. Changes of the boat class (e.g. from Mixed to Women’s or Eight to Octuple Sculls) are not allowed. Teams with rowers from different clubs are accepted. The specific regulations of each regatta have to be obeyed.
