Is there any regulation preventing the purposefully incorrect placement of rowers in racing boats?
This idea was brought up by a teammate, and it very clearly seems to be a form of cheating to me, so there must be some form of official rule at regattas to prohibit this, right?
For example, instead of putting the top 8 rowers in the 1V8, putting them in the 2V8 to heighten the chance at a high placement. I’ve been digging on this and can’t seem to find anything, but I’m very curious!
