I havn't organized any regattas but have done many different regattas including the high school sprints in Hawaii. I would make six lanes if you could. Or 3 lanes and have a qualifying heats... Take 1st from each heat and the next fastest time and race the 3 teams in finals. If the lanes are uneven you might want to have semi finals or something... just my 2 cents.

with 6 teams at 500 m? I would just set up the 6 lanes and give um a shot...unless there were a huge advantage in the lanes.
