At the beginning of the race, each ship aimed its bow at its own channel. When the sailor thinks that the bow is lined up, the starter will give a password or signal to prepare for rowing. At this time, the baffle fell and the ship set off.
After departure, each boat must row according to its own channel from beginning to end. Any part of a ship crossing its own channel or not crossing the finish line in its own channel is a foul, and the channel referee can give a warning on the spot or disqualify the ship.
The 200-meter, 500-meter and 1000-meter competitions are eliminated by special teams. The 5000-meter race is a one-time team race. Corvison, when two boats approach or paddles collide in a race, is called "assembling". All participating boats (or paddles) leave their own channel and touch or collide, which is called "assembling foul". If the foul is still committed after two warnings, the referee will disqualify them from the race. That's enough for the victim.
