Notice Board

The notice board tab offers the online equivalent of an official notice board and offers a method of communication with competitors completely separate from the announcements functionality.

Notice Board

The Notice Board has two main sub-parts:

1. Notice Board posts

2. Protests

The majority of this guide will focus on Notice Board posts. Protests are covered in their own guide.

Accessing the Notice Board

The notice board can be found by going to the regatta admin page and selecting the notice board tab.
