ChatGPT Discussion Document Summary
"The document below, initiated in April 2024 and last updated in February 2025 discusses the future of the Maadi Cup regatta, with an emphasis on inclusivity and competition tailored to student-athletes' abilities.
Key recommendations include completing preliminary races within three days and holding divisional finals over the final three days, ensuring at least 95% of crews race a graded final. It also suggests limiting each student to a maximum of two events to reduce fatigue and improve event management.
Guardians of the Maadi Cup should focus on making the regatta more inclusive, with more students participating in competitive finals. Shifting from a results-driven approach to one that emphasises inclusion and fair, highly competitive, racing will enhance the experience for all involved and support the long-term growth of High School rowing in New Zealand."
