Score Calculation:

Rowing Score recalculation is based on competition results

Win: = Current Rowing Score -0.2

Schools: School rowers will commence the year with a RGS (Sculling & Sweep) as follows:

School Year Events	Score
School Year 7 & Year 8	3.9
School Year 9	3.5
School Year 10	3.2
School Year 11	2.9
School Year 12	2.6

Masters Rowers: The RGS (Sculling & Sweep) for Masters age rowers will be assessed by reference to their competitiveness, the same as other rowers, except that:

A Masters age rower who has reached, or will reach within the calendar year, 55 years of age will have a minimum RGS of 3.10 (i.e. top of D Grade); and
A Masters age rower who has reached, or will reach within the calendar year, 65 years of age will have a minimum RGS of 3.6 (i.e. top of E Grade).

New members: Newly-registered rowers (other than school rowers) will be assessed and their RGS (Sculling & Sweep) determined as follows:

Where the rower has no previous rowing racing history: RGS = 4.0;
Where the rower has competitive racing history in any state or territory within the last 2 years, each RGS will be the same as for an existing registered rower;
Where the rower raced more than 2 years ago, the RGS will be awarded as follows:
1. if last raced 2 to 3 years before: each RGS will be 0.5 higher than would have been awarded (following assessment) given their previous competitive level;
2. if last raced 3 to 5 years before: each RGS 1.0 will be higher than would have been awarded (following assessment) given their previous competitive level; or
3. if last raced five years or more before: each RGS = 4.0.
