BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Championships is contested between the 10 British Rowing Regions, with the Thames region split into three (Thames Upper, Thames Central and Thames Lower) to make 12 teams in total.
All events will be raced over 1500-meters with the heats timed. The fastest 6 crews will go through to the Grande finale with the others into the Petite Finale.
The usual points system will apply: - Grande Finale -1st 12 points, 2nd 11 points and so on to 6th 7 points. Petite Finale: - 1st 6 points 2nd 5 points and so on to 6th 1 point. Gold, Silver & Bronze medals will be awarded to each crew.
In all cases the Grand Finale will comprise the 6 fastest crews as a result of racing the heats. The Petite Finale will comprise the remainder. The only case when a Petite Finale will not be held is where only 7 crews are entered in the event.
In the unlikely event of any crew not taking its place in a GF or PF, the missing crew will be awarded 0 points. If a crew fails to show for a Grande Finale, all crews in the Petite Finale will receive an extra point.
Composite crews will be allowed in all events.
Doubling up will be allowed. NB the racing order has been developed to allow for doubling up WITHIN AGE BANDS. Please be sure to understand the racing order listed below. We expect to adhere to this schedule.
Equipment is shared at the crew's own risk. Doubling up outside age bands is done at the crew's risk. NEITHER is taken into account in the racing order.
