Welcome to British Rowing Championships.

May 2012 

We do hope that clubs, coaches and competitors are already working towards the 40th Anniversary British Rowing Championships which will be held at Nottingham on 13^th to 15^th July 2012.

To that end, we are issuing this final statement about which events will be offered.

All relevant information relating to prices, order of finals, spacing of races etc will follow as soon as possible.

The events we plan to offer are set out in the attached table. 

Please note:

1.       All the events coloured in grey will be offered in July 2012.

2.       The Senior events coloured in yellow will NOT be offered in July, instead featuring in the separate Diamond Jubilee Rowing Championships in October 2012.

3.       Responding to Junior Commission feedback, there will be no J17 events in 2012.

4.       In 2012 no crew will be eliminated after only a time trial.  As in previous years, events attracting an entry of 25 crews or more will start with a time trial. The fastest crews will go through to 2 semi-finals and the fastest 3 from each semi-final will race the final.  In 2012, this will be designated the “A” final.  The remaining 3 crews from each semi-final will race a “B” final.  Crews 13 to 18 from the time trial will race a “C” final, and so on, until every crew in the event has a ranking.

a.       as each of these new races is a final, all crews which have raced in the time trials will be expected to complete all the races offered in that event, except in the case of medical problems.

b.      This race pattern will apply to all events – Junior, Lightweight, Under 23 and Senior – which attract 25 or more crews.
