The Euros 70 discounted sports fee for the Paris 2018 rowing regatta has been extended to Sunday evening, 24 September 2017 Paris local time (when it is midnight or minuit there...)

So for rowers who have not registered, this means you get another week to decide and to get in on the discounted rate. Starting on Monday, 25 September 2017, the rowing sports fee will jump to Euros 90.

We want to emphasize our choice of words here: discount and NOT early bird fees. The reason we call this out is that the Paris 2018 website uses the "early bird fees" to describe a lower participant fee, and if you're at all like this rower, you would naturally assume that if Paris labels the lower rowing sports fee as an "early bird" rate, it would mean we get the lower participant fee as well. Nope.

For those unfortunate rowers who ended up paying the Euros 90 rate either late Sunday or on Monday, you can apply for a refund of Euros 20 by contacting support.registration@paris2018.com but hurry, you have to do that by Friday, 22 September 2017.

One final note: the wonderfully expensive participant fee, the one that currently is listed at Euros 160 jumps to Euros 175 on 01 October 2017 so it is worth your while to register soon!
