IX.--The captain or secretary of each club or crew entered, shall, at least three clear days before the regatta, deliver to the secretary of the regatta a list containing the names of the actual crew appointed to compete, to which list the names of not more than four other members for an eight-oar, and two for a four-oar, may be added as subst.i.tutes.
X.--No person may be subst.i.tuted for another who has already rowed or steered in a heat.
XI.--The secretary of the regatta, after receiving the list of the crews entered, and of the subst.i.tutes, shall, if required, furnish a copy of the same, with the names, real and a.s.sumed, to the captain or secretary of each club or crew entered, and, in the case of pairs or scullers, to each compet.i.tor entered.
XII.--Objections to the qualification of a compet.i.tor must be made in writing to the secretary of the regatta at the earliest moment practicable. No protest shall be entertained unless lodged before the prizes are distributed.
XIII.--The whole course must be completed by a compet.i.tor before he can be held to have won a trial or final heat.

XV.--In the event of a dead heat taking place, any compet.i.tor refusing to row again, as may be directed by the Regatta Committee, shall be adjudged to have lost.
