SENIOR EVENTS: crews may enter Championship, Intermediate and Development events. Clubs' top crews will enter the Championship events, less experienced crews will enter the Intermediate events, and relatively inexperienced crews will enter the Development events. Suggested average PRIs for the Intermediate and Development events are 200 and 50 respectively (the CRI in Championship events is unlimited).
For Intermediate and Development events, we reserve the right to change a crew's entered event if its CRI is significantly higher than the CRIs of other crews in the event (i.e. to reallocate Intermediate to Championship or Development to Intermediate / Championship).
JUNIOR EVENTS: junior crews will race in age categories, and J18 and J16 events may be banded by CRI depending on the entries received. The organisers reserve the right to form a race by amalgamating age categories, or to move entered crews to an appropriate Senior event. If you don't want to be moved, please make a note on your entry to indicate so.
MASTERS' EVENTS: for each boat type, a prize will be awarded to the fastest crew in an age category in which two or more crews race. All crews of a particular boat type are automatically entered into the boat type's 'headship on handicap', which can be won by any crew, including those with no direct opposition in their age category (a crew can win only one prize).
BEGINNER EVENTS: we run Beginner events to provide meaningful competition for people who've only recently taken up the sport. Our definition of a Beginner is that they have (i) a PRI of 10 or less and (ii) have been rowing or sculling for no more than two years. See the note below for further clarification on this 'two year rule'.
ENTRIES: all entries are £TBC per seat via BR Online Entry (online payment only).
CLOSE OF ENTRIES: is at noon on Sunday 15th February 2026. The number of entries in each division is capped for safety and practicality reasons - if the event is oversubscribed then preference will be given to entries that are paid up at the close of entries. We strongly recommend making payment on entry in order to maximise your chances of acceptance.
THE DRAW: will take place at 1 pm on Sunday 15th February in Nottingham Rowing Club.
ORDER OF RACING: In Division 1 only, the first ten crews from the previous competition will hold their positions as far as possible.
PRIZES: will be awarded to all event winners after the division has been raced - please have event winners' BR licences to hand.
RACE CANCELLATION: a final go/no-go decision will be made by 18:00 on Friday 20th February that will take into account the current and forecast weather and river conditions. If the race is wholly or partly cancelled then the affected competitors will receive a full refund.
