Events

Please note that, in order for the timetable to operate smoothly, we are running some events in the morning and others in the afternoon. Competitors are NOT permitted to double-up in events that both take place in the morning or both in the afternoon. They can, of course, in events when one occurs in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Please note the the concept of doubling up applies to boats, blades and coxes as well as to rowers.

J13 and J14 events will take place throughout the day. No doubling-up is allowed in J13 and J14 events. There will be ‘Plate’ events for first-round losers in J13 and J14 crew (not 1x) events where possible.

See the FAQs at the bottom of this page for more on doubling up.

FAQs relating to doubling up

Q. Lucy is sculling in a WJ14 4x+. We know she can't double up in J14 but can she cox our J15 4+? She wouldn't be too tired as the second event is just coxing.
A. No. Competitors in J13 and J14 events can enter one event in the entire regatta only. This is to avoid impossible timetabling. So the fact that it's a different age group, and that it wouldn't wear her out as she'd only be rowing in on event is irrelevant.

Q. Our J14 4x+ and J154x+ are sharing a boat. Is that OK?
A. No. You can risk it, and it might work out for you, especially if one crew loses in an early round, but we are unable to accommodate doubling up (and that includes boats) between any J14 event and any other event.

Q. Our J13 4x+ is really good and would like to race at J14 as well to see if they can beat the bigger boys. Can they?
A. No. Competitors in J13 (and J14) events can only race in one event in the regatta. You coudl enter them in J14 4x+ INSTEAD of J13 4x+, though.
