The San Diego Crew Classic has grown to become one of the greatest crew rowing events in the United States. The intent was a fun and fair winner-take-all competition for bragging rights between traditional and up-and-coming rowing powers from across the country. It was programmed to be fast moving and on-time, to keep spectators interested and reduce delays. A high priority from the beginning was exposure of junior rowers to established collegiate programs.
Some of the most renowned schools in the United States compete in the San Diego Crew Classic. Among those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Notre Dame, Duke, Navy, University of Washington, and University of Virginia.
The Crew Classic has several different classifications of races:
COLLEGIATE. Collegiate rowers who must be eligible in accordance with NCAA rules.
JUNIOR VARSITY. The second fastest shell from a university or junior crew.
NOVICE. Rowers or coxswains in their first year of competition.
JUNIOR. Rowers who are 18 years old or less or enrolled as a full-time high school student.
CLUB. Rowers from any organization or age.
MASTER. Minimum age of master rowers is 27. The crews average age determines the event they will row in.
The rowers race within two classifications: heavyweight or lightweight. A lightweight man may weigh no more than 160 pounds. A lightweight woman no more than 130 pounds
