Team Leader Registration

for Summer Series 2018

Competitors usually race as part of a team with a named Team Leader appointed by their club. Each Team Leader must register at or before the first regatta attended. Independent paddlers (or their parents/guardians if the paddler is under 18) take on the Team Leader's responsibilities with respect to their own participation.
Please read these obligations before entering your details in the appropriate place at the foot of the page.

By registering as a Team Leader (or Independent Paddler) you are agreeing that you will:

• Read and abide by the Series Rules. Attend the Event Briefing and endeavour to ensure your team members understand and follow the instructions.
• Satisfy yourself that your team members understand race behaviour and safety procedures, and are competent and fit to participate under the prevailing local conditions. Where necessary, you will ensure that additional precautions (e.g. wearing a PFD) are taken, and will alert the Race Organiser to any special safety concerns.
  
• Ensure that each member of your team is covered by £5 million public liability insurance. (For official teams from British-Canoeing-Affiliated clubs, membership of your club is sufficient.)
• Ensure that your club’s documentation gives you authority to pass race entry details of your team members to the FRA, and that they have been told that race results and photos from the event will be published but that they have the right to object. Alert the FRA to any known objections.
  
• Send details of new entries in advance, or book them in personally at the first race they attend.
  
• Liaise with the Race Organiser to resolve any protests, as described in the Rules.
  
• Collect up all of your team's race boards and check them back in with the booking desk at the end of each regatta.
• Arrange a competent adult to stand in as Acting Team Leader if you are unable to be present with your team at any race – the substitute will identify themselves at the booking-in desk on the day.

By completing my details below I agree to take on the responsibilities detailed above. I understand that these details will be held by the FRA Secretary for the sole purpose of administering the participation of my team in this series, and my name and contact details may be shared with Race Organisers and with other appropriate race staff on the day.

Privacy Notice: The FRA take your privacy seriously. We will process this data and the details of team members on the basis of our legitimate interest as the coordinators of this race series. You have the right to object to this. Please contact the Secretary with any concerns. A more complete Privacy Statement is in preparation.

Please try to get registered before regatta weekend. If necessary, these forms can be used up to 6pm on the previous evening.
Left your registration to the last minute?  Download and print a form and bring it with you to the regatta, together with BC cards if required.

What happens next?
When we receive your registration, we will send you an entry form in Word that you can use to enter your team before each race. You only need to send full details for new team members; for those entering their second or subsequent regatta of the series, just their name is enough (unless they switch between kayak and canoe).
Please let your team members know whether you will be booking them in and paying for them en bloc or whether they should each come individually to the booking in desk to pay.

Don't forget to email a photo of your BC card now to secretary@FlatwaterRacing.org.uk, or you will have to show it at the regatta or else purchase an Event Ticket

What happens next?
Come to the booking in desk and pay on the day.
For subsequent regattas, you can just turn up on the day, but it helps if you email to let us know you are coming.
