There enough catagories with ages, M/F and weight without adding height.<br /><br />GW

Though the $20K seems a little light, considering the overall effort and commitment required. It would also have to be enough to get the person to be willing to put up with all the rantings of the nattering nabobs of nonsense (far more difficult than the physical work, IMO). <br /> </td></tr></table><br />$20k just off the top of my head. Whatever sum would allow an international rower to compete for a year is sort of what I'd have in mind; this would induce someone like a Shurmei, Schroeder, or Ebbesen to train with a World Cup-level seriousness for CRASHB.
