| Since crew is a non-funded, competitive varsity sport, funding must come from individuals and fundraising efforts. In order to row on the water, every rower must earn the required points (novice=25 points//returning rowers=75 points) before they will be allowed to compete. Points are earned by volunteering time at various fundraising events or by purchasing scrip. The point system is a fair way of making sure everyone does their share of fundraising. The more money Robinson Crew raises, the more new equipment (shells, rowing machines, etc.) it can buy. Some fundraising events are mandatory. Rowers can choose from the non-mandatory events to earn the required points. |
