Crash B registration
Posted: October 10th, 2016, 8:34 am
Hi Does anyone know when the registration opens for the 2017 crash b championships. Also is someone or some organisation dealing with UK entries as has been done previously.
It is usually late in November.sango wrote:Hi Does anyone know when the registration opens for the 2017 crash b championships. Also is someone or some organisation dealing with UK entries as has been done previously.
I was guessing venue availability issues.Bob S. wrote:Late February is relatively new. There have been previous C-Bs that were held as early as the second week of February. It depends a lot on the availability of whatever venue is used at the time. The one that was used for the last few years, the Agganis (sp?), is mainly used for hockey in the Winter and is fairly heavily booked up.

Right! I'd like to do Ergomania in Seattle where I live, and the Mile High Sprints in Denver with my daughter, but in all likelihood they will be on the same day or at least the same weekend. I'm thinking there will be lots of erg races the weekend of 28/29 January.Cyclingman1 wrote:It makes all the satellite regattas be pushed up to late Jan or so. I think it is not a good move on the part of Crash B.
A few of the 2017 events are now listed on the race calendar site (http://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/racing/calendar), but most of the listings are still the old 2016 events.Cyclist2 wrote: Right!

Yes - all three Californian events are that weekend unfortunately - 3 days before I arrive in San Francisco!Cyclist2 wrote:Right!

Probably, but it hasn't always been at that venue.lindsayh wrote: My understanding is that it is all to do with the availability of Argannis arena and college sport. I think it was this early some years ago.
Crash-B History site wrote:Within a few short years C.R.A.S.H.-B. grew into the International World Indoor Rowing Championships that it is now. The regatta outgrew Newell, and then the IAB (The indoor Athletic Building, now the MAC, the Malkin Athletic Center), The QRAC (Radcliff Quadrangle Athletic Center), moving to MIT’s Rockwell Cage for many years. In 1995 the regatta moved to Harvard’s Indoor Track Facility, perhaps three times the size of the Rockwell Cage. In 1997 C.R.A.S.H.-B. moved to and even larger and ultra-modern facility, The Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center at Roxbury Community College. Since 2008, the venue is Boston University’s Agganis Arena, a state of the art facility just downstream of the original C.R.A.S.H.-B. site.
The big Boston talk right now is all about the Head of the Charles. Can't even begin to think about Crash-B's until after HOCR.lindsayh wrote: Starting to get excited now with all this Boston talk.
