There is one spot left for Stratford on September 15. See www.rotarystratford.com. Any takers?

Depends... which lane would we get?

The lane bias has been corrected for the last three years. There is a 6 meter differential between lane 4 and lane 1 to discount the shallow portion of four and to some extent three. In the semis and finals teams with the slowest times are placed in four so you would not expect four to win many races in the semis and finals but they have either won or placed second on a few occasions(about 15%).

How was the 6m shortening determined? Someone run a regression? Or was it arbitrary?

If I sign up my team, will you please stop sending out these constant reminders?

20 spots left
17 spots left
10 spots left
5 spots left
1 spot left

etc

You should have signed up earlier.

Come on Kevin. Start posting these when you get your waiting list.

It works better this way. In advertising, it is called Top of Mind Awareness and every year we have some of the regulars change team captains and forget to register.

I have had success creating urgency and will continue on. Did you want that last spot ?

Re: how we determined the lane differential. We looked at the times teams ran in lane four and times same team did in other lanes over a two year period from all semis and initial races and determined the time differential. We then correlated that to a length.Since we instituted this change we noticed a considerable drop in complaints about lane four although admitedly that is not science. As we don't have much wind or current problem the river depth was the main factor we had to even out.

Hi,

How are you? I want to join your team for the Stratford festival. Please let me know if you still have spot left. I am a left side paddler. I usually paddle in the engine room.
