Asian Games 2023L Rowing rules

Lane Changes: There are six separate lanes, with one boat in each lane. Per the International Rowing Federation (FISA), there are two important rules. Boats are allowed to change lanes. However, if they obstruct other boats while doing so, they will be immediately disqualified from the race.

False Starts: The boats can leave their mark after the sound of a blank fired from a gun. However, if a boat leaves before that, it will be considered a false start. Each team is allowed one false start, and a second offence will lead to disqualification from the race.
