Rowers will be able to register for the rowing regatta for the Paris 2018 Gay Games starting on 04 September 2017.
Since the regatta is being presented within the Gay Games multi-sport event, rowers will need to register as a participant for the 2018 Gay Games. This means each competitor has to pay a participant fee and a sports fee.
The participant fee is a fixed fee that provides your pass to the Gay Games event, and is currently listed at Euros 160. That fee is time and subscription based and will increase to Euros 175 on 01 Oct 2017 or earlier if subscription levels reach the next benchmark. Even though rowing is only now being opened for registration, Paris 2018 has said rowers must pay the current participant fee of Euros 160 instead of the initial participant fee of Euros 120.
The rowing fee will be offered at a discounted fee of Euros 70 from 04 Sep 2017 - 24 Sep 2017. After that, the rowing sports fee will be Euros 90.
It is important to note that the rowing page of the Paris 2018 website indicates the maximum participant level is 250 participants. Update 19 Sep 2017: this maximum participant setting was originally posted at 100, and in typical right hand/left hand fashion, the web programmers inputted that as a maximum of 100 when the regatta committee had tried to communicate that number was a minimum. The
Initial indications are that boat rental fees will be included in the rowing sports fee. However, that may change and competitors need to be aware of that fact.
