athleteAges

This rule tests all of the athletes in an entry to see if they meet the age criteria for the category of the event. It tests Junior events and Masters events. The coxswain in Masters events is exempt from this rule. RCA rule 2.7.

correctAthleteCount

This rule checks that the correct number of athletes have been attached to the entry (e.g. nine in an eight, two in a double).

coxswainInSeat

This rule checks that a coxswain has been identified for any entry in an event that includes coxswains. This is primarily to make other rule testing more simple.

noviceCrewsAreNovice

This rule tests the crew of an entry in a Novice event. If any of the athletes is not identified as novice on the Edit Athletes page, the rule fails.

noBoysinGirlsCrew

This rule tests the crew of an entry in a female event. Apart from the coxswain (who must be identified as such), if a male is found in a female crew, the rule fails.

jvEntryBrentwood

This rule tests Junior A JV entries only. It looks for entries in varsity events of equal or larger boats. It also looks for the School 8 (considered a varsity entry). If it finds an entry in any of the corresponding varsity events, the rule passes.

jvAthletesBrentwood

This rule tests Junior A JV and 3V entries.

For JV events, it identifies all entries for this club in Varsity (or School) events in this age category (first entries only). It then tags all of those athletes as 'varsity'. If any of these 'varsity' athletes are found in the JV entry being tested, the rule fails. Novice and lightweight rowers are exempt from this check, and may row JV.

For 3V entries, the process also looks for the largest JV entry. Athletes in this entry are tagged as JV. 3V crews cannot contain any athlete identified as Varsity or JV. This includes lightweight and novice rowers.

jvAthletes

This rule tests all JV and 3V entries, and can be used for Junior A and Junior B, as at Shawnigan Regatta.

For JV events, it identifies all entries for this club in Varsity (or School) events in this age category (first entries only). It then tags all of those athletes as 'varsity'. If any of these 'varsity' athletes are found in the JV entry being tested, the rule fails. Novice and lightweight rowers are exempt from this check, and may row JV.

For 3V entries, the process also looks for the largest JV entry. Athletes in this entry are tagged as JV. 3V crews cannot contain any athlete identified as Varsity or JV. This includes lightweight and novice rowers.

jrbjvEntryBrentwood

This rule tests an entry in the Junior B JV category. First it identifies the related 'varsity' event and checks for an entry in that event. If there is no entry the rule fails. If an entry is found, those athletes are tagged as 'varsity'. If any of the athletes in the JV crew have been identified as 'varsity', the rule fails.

registeredWithRCA

This rule tests whether the entry is from an RCA club. If so, each athlete in the entry is tested to see if they have an RCA membership expiry date, and that that date is after the last day of the regatta.

lvissaaIneligible

This rule tests the athletes in the entry for the person_log type "LVISSAA ineligible"
