Once again many thanks to Guinness's who have sponsored the Ladder since it was started forty-one years ago,. And to GSBC for hosting the event. Congratulations on a great day's racing on Saturday, and many thanks for the support. It was a great entry. The 9th Millennium Sculling Challenges (Belfast vs. Cork vs. Dublin) are due to be hosted by Belfast in 2007, possibly in early September after the two successful events on the Marina (2005) and Ringsend (2006); this will involve the Overall Winner and the Fastest Woman of the DSL when the Ladder concludes at the end of Maarch 2007. The Time Trial is just the start of the new Ladder. It now proceeds with Challenge Races: Scullers above 40th position on the Ladder may challenge any of the three scullers above them ; Scullers 40th and lower may challenge 6 above; scullers 100th and below may challenge up to ten places above them Every sculler is entitled to one Free Challenge per season All Challenge Races must be umpired and timed, and a report completed. Having an umpire is essential, to liaise with other users of the river, to ensure safety and to keep an accurate record of results. Report forms are available from me, or from the Dublin Municipal Rowing Centre. Completed Reports should be returned to the DMRC. There haven't been challenge races for the past few years, but the system is still there and the Overall Head of the Ladder and the Overall Fastest Women of the forty-first Ladder will not be decided until the last Saturday in March 2007. During October only bracketed (marked =) scullers on the list above are treated as though on the same rung for challenging and being challenged — although all intermediate rungs count for those challenging past bracketed scullers. From November the brackets are removed, and the scullers will be in the order as printed, unless changes have happened in the meantime. Statistics from this Time Trial: Seventh time to break 100 finishers, and with the second biggest entry to date. (Micheal Johnston was wrong in saying it was a record entry this year: there were 123 i2005!) or A beautiful day's racing. A strong flow and headwind at the start of racing, which diminished during the day— the 4th 5th sections may have been the fastest conditions. A record number of women scullers completed the course. Anyone wanting copies of double runs may contact me or Micheal Johnston (<emjay@eircom.net> by e-mail. 16.10.06 Ciaran Lewis Secretary, DSL <ctlewis@indigo.ie>
