INVITATION TO JOIN THE HEAD OF THE CHARLES UMPIRE CORPS
 
Regatta dates:  Friday, October 22nd  - Sunday, October 24th, 2010
 
The HOCR course is the most challenging headrace in the world, with narrow bridge openings, many tight turns, and lots of boats competing.  Each year a corps of 125 keen-eyed umpires observes every meter of the twisting course to insure that the Head Of The Charles is safe and fair for its thousands of competitors.  We invite you to join this terrific team of umpires in 2010.


We provide:

HOCR training and certification of all new umpires via a training session held the morning of September 25th.  Included is intensive training in how to evaluate interference situations;
A final training and logistics info session on the Friday afternoon of race weekend, October 16th  (starts at 5:00pm);
Refreshments (including great early morning coffee) and lunch service via the bicycle delivery team on race weekend;
Transportation services to and from the Cambridge Boat Club and distant umpire stations along the river;
The opportunity to contribute to the success of the HOCR and to learn a different side of rowing as a part of the Station Umpire Teams lead by experienced USRA Referees-you'll be surprised at what you don't know about successful racing on the Charles!

Interested in helping?  We need volunteers with rowing experience, focus, judgment, and the willingness to invest some training time and 1-2 days "on station" to make the HOCR the best regatta possible. Please join the team.
