| Head of the Charles 2012- Join the Umpire Corps
October 19th - October 21st
| |
Want a great view of the Head Of The Charles this year? Think you can umpire?
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 2012.
We provide:
- HOCR training and certification of all new umpires via a training session held the morning of September 22nd 9am-12pm. Included is intensive training in how to evaluate interference situations;
- The opportunity to contribute to the success of the HOCR and to learn a different side of rowing;
- A final training and logistics info session on the Friday afternoon of race weekend, October 19th (starts at 5:00 pm);
- Umpire Teams lead by experienced USRA Referees-you'd be surprised at what you don't know about successful racing on the Charles!
- 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.
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 safest, fairest regatta possible. Please, join us!!
