Definitions: Time Disqualification
All boats must reach the turn around at the Hebron Parkway bridge buoy within 2 hours and USCA/TCRA boats must make the Business 121 turnaround within 2.5 hours. USCA/TCRA boats that do not make the 2 hour Hebron cut must reclass to REC Unlimited and turn around or be disqualified. At those times, the safety sweep boats will launch from both bridges to collect racers who did not reach the turn around buoy before the cut-off times. That way, everyone will be back at start / finish in time for lunch and awards ceremony. The race chairman may elect to extend or eliminate the time disqualification due to adverse river or weather conditions.
