Please note:
- Team sports are held simultaneously, hence competitors can only play one team sport
- Rowing will be held for a 3-hour window (an hour before, during & after lunch). We would recommend getting as many of your competitors to row as possible.

There is NO limit to how many teams can enter from each institution in any sport!
