If you have a variable crew due to exams etc., please fill out the competitors who will be either racing the most or racing the Getting-on-Race. Empty crew entries may be disregarded. A reminder that we need umpires still- the races can't all go ahead if we don't have them. Any questions, please email committee at cucbc.org. All best, Lee Limeng Zhu CUCBC Hon. Sec.

Please ensure your entry is properly filled with crew name and members' names/crsIDs otherwise these will not be valid. Requests for specific divisions for the GoR are available and the link is in the previous emails. In response to a few questions, some clarifications: -All novice crews must be crewed with only novice rowers, which will be defined as anyone who has not rowed before Michaelmas 2020. -As agreed in the previous Captain's meeting, novices may race more than once daily, only in order to sub into their senior lowest division and fill an eight. -Club bills will be sent out shortly after close of entries with full details of payment instructions and deadlines- this should not prevent you from entering. -Likewise, GoR draws and marshalling instructions will be published after entries close. -Keep signing up to umpire! We have about 120 entries at the minute, a fantastic number in such a disrupted year; however fewer novice crews compared to senior crews entered. Please ensure all your novice entries are in by the deadline, these have to be done via captains onto the website. The mixed category is present if you are having trouble fielding crews solely from one gender. Any questions, please email in.

Between then and the start of September I?m going to have a lot of spare time on my hands and am looking for some coaching related work. I know that many of you and your athletes will not be in Cambridge during this time, but thought that I?d email to say that, should you or your crews be around, I can offer: - Crew coaching - Coach mentoring & development (individual and group sessions) - Training on how to set-up your boats for your athletes - Training plan assessment and writing - Assessment of your club?s athlete/coach development Again, I appreciate that you may not be around during this point in the year, but if you have crews going out, or coaches who might benefit from some development/support then it would be great if you could drop me a message (tjhcopeland at gmail.com). Thanks, Tom A little about me: I?ve lead the Cantabs Senior Women?s squad for the last 10 years and have worked with junior, senior, masters and para-rowers. I?ve helped crews to wins/medals at Henley Women?s Regatta, Women?s Eights Head, National Schools, Nat Junior Championships, Ghent, Fours Head, Pairs Head, Scullers Head, World Masters, Henley Masters and National Masters. My crews have represented England at the Home International Regatta three times. I selected and trained the Cambridge crew for British Rowing?s 2018 Power8s sprint competition. My crews have held the Town Bumps Headship since 2017, and currently sit 1st, 3rd, 4th and 7th on the river. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We can confirm the following results. Men's IV+ QF: King's M1 scratch, Magdalene M1 proceed to SF Men's IV+ QF: Fitzwilliam M1 beat Peterhouse M1 by 9 seconds Men's 2- FF: Maggie beat Downing by 16 seconds Women's 1x: FaT (Dixon) beat Jesus (Isaac) by 16 seconds There are a few notes from today: - Racing lines: Please keep to your side of the river, especially for coxless boats your bank party may be helpful in keeping the best racing line. - Starting stations: There seems to be a contradiction between the CUCBC website (set up for the traditional SBR) and the recently circulated marshalling instructions. The recently circulated marshalling instructions should be taken as fact in this instance- such that the first crew listed will take **meadowside** and the second crew will take the towpath side. - Many thanks for the prompt arrival and high competency of the Marshals provided, long may this continue! -Last-minute scratches: email committee at cucbc.org . *Start and finish positions: *The start line will be the downstream posts of the spinning zone for all crews. The finish line will be Peter's Posts: (https://goo.gl/maps/Gbrtow8QfKCc5g1j9). This is true for all races except the novice single sculls, which will be 500m ending at the Little Bridge on the Long Reach:(https://goo.gl/maps/mx4KnfTrY9fncDPF9). Apologies for any confusion today regarding this. The Senior Umpires will however adjust the course length as necessary on race-day.

Instead, prizes will be available for collection on the hard outside the Goldie boathouse tomorrow evening, once I've packed up after the last race - hopefully between 5:15 and 5:30pm. Please can the winners come along to claim their prizes during this time, or send a representative to collect on behalf of their crew? Apologies for the late notice: the prizes have only just arrived today but I think it's best to distribute them immediately after racing while there's a chance that competitors will still be down by the river.

This has resulted in a couple changes to allow marshalling and racing of all crews and underrepresentation in the mixed division; chief of which is we have had to adjust the finish from Peter's Posts to the May's bottom finish, meaning the race course distance is now slightly shorter at approximately 1km. Thanks for being patient again with us whilst we draw up divisions and instructions. Again, a lengthy email, due to the novel nature of this year's racing; *Please read carefully* as we have had to account for new factors in regards to marshalling and racing, and ask for clarifications if any of the following is unclear. The website will be updated in due course. *Divisions- GoR:* Available here: If you would like to arrange a swap, please either choose an empty slot or arrange to swap with a crew from a different division. You must email CUCBC of the swap and Cc the other crew. *The deadline for swaps is Wednesday 16th June, 10pm.* *Divisions- Regatta:* Given the low number of mixed crews entered, the mixed crews will race in the mens' second division. The mixed crews will first race other mixed crews to determine the division winner, then will be drawn and race with those in the men's second division who have already lost at least one race. This means we will have eight total divisions, the timing of which have been amended and on the attached race instructions. To keep the top division competitive and similar to regatta-styles, the fastest 16 crews from the GoR will compete in the SM1, SW1, NM1 and NW1 divisions. As agreed in the captain's meeting, the winning crews from SM1 and SW1 will receive university medals. The winning crews from all other divisions will recieve trophies, which will be the crews which will win the most races over the four days. This means that for some second divisions, tie-breaker races may be required after the racing on the final day, which will occur in the next timetabled division on the same day. For information the division sizes are as follows: SM1- 16 crews, 8 races SM2+SX- 28 crews (3 from SX), 14 races SW1- 16 crews, 8 races SW2- 27 crews, 13 races NM1- 16 crews, 8 races NM2+NX- 13 crews (2 from NX), 6 races NW1- 16 crews, 8 races NW2- 22 crews, 11 races *Marshalling and Race instructions- attached.* Please Read Carefully: we have some large divisions and most importantly: make sure you only spin under instruction. *Marshals and Umpires * Currently being drawn up, with provisional instructions for information only. Many thanks for the over seventy individuals who have volunteered! *Novice Coxes' Briefing* Will be held virtually, likely on the evening of Saturday 19th. *Novice coxes must attend*, any others who wish to have a refresher of how a regatta is run are welcome to attend. *Bills* These are being compiled and will be sent out once ready. *Locations of key points:* Little Wooden Bridge- https://goo.gl/maps/xzbmJbUseAdsMjHc9 Race Start- https://goo.gl/maps/A6VU9f9eqwMn5tiq8 Race Finish- https://goo.gl/maps/3h4VJEkapyqN5z6d6 First Post Corner- https://goo.gl/maps/Q46PZMXR5USMsQwM8 Appreciating this is a lot of information on a novel racing style, I will be hosting an informal* drop-in Q&A on MS teams for captains only tomorrow 4:30-5:30pm*- https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YWQyZDdhNWMtYzA2My00M2Y0LTg1NWEtZWM1OGNlOTZiOTNl%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%2249a50445-bdfa-4b79-ade3-547b4f3986e9%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22ab3f3315-03e3-4f58-ac11-187531aee812%22%7d We are looking forward to a good five days of racing, however are mindful there is growing uncertainty regarding COVID-19 restrictions given the emerging delta variant.

The deadline for GoR swaps has now passed, it will now *not* be possible to swap or move divisions as we prepare race paperwork. *Clarification on GoR:* In response to some queries - All crews who race the GoR and demonstrate they can do the course at race pace safely and competently will race in the regatta - The fastest 16 crews in the GoR will race in division 1 - The GoR race timings will be used to seed the first day's races to allow for the best possible racing - The GoR times for each crew will be released to captain's after the end of the regatta, to keep each day's racing competitive and exciting. - Crews which are obviously unfit for racing (from a safety or competency viewpoint) from GoR will be removed from racing with no refund of fees. (e.g. a crew which cannot row all 8s, cannot spin at the P&E without crashing and cannot row in a straight line, let alone race) *Links:* The final GoR division draws can be found here: https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/gor Information for the regatta will be published here: https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta Notes and fines on each day of racing will be published here (also on the right hand tab from the eights regatta page: http://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/notes_fines *Briefings:* Umpire's briefing details have been sent out; email committee at cucbc.org if you have not received these and you are umpiring. Novice Coxes' briefing will take place at *7pm this Saturday*, 19th June. If your novice cox cannot make the briefing they must email in. *Novice coxes must attend*; senior coxes, LBCs and captains are welcome to attend to gain a refresher. Crews who do not know what they are doing will cause delays. The joining link will follow. *Substitutions:* Thanks for those who have already started to email these in. As per the previous captains meeting we do not need to know the reason for the sub, just the following information: ----- Date of substitution: Crew having the sub: Crew member subbed out (Name+CrsID): Crew member subbed in (Name+CrsID): Confirmation of the following regarding your sub/s: The Sub is a student at your college, has not rowed with a town club this term and, if the sub is a senior rower, will not be rowing in any other crew in the JER: (yes/no) ---- Feel free to use the above as a template for your email (please do- it makes my life easier!), and we will email back confirming the sub. This is needed in case of dispute/complaint/appeal and requests for more CUCBC trophies if persons have subbed into a winning crew. Note the CUCBC rules do not allow doubling up of senior rowers, but there is an exception for novices for the JER as agreed by Captains (see JER rule 6.c.iii) , and there is generally an exception for exceptional circumstances (ie accident/injury on the day of racing). *Scratching:* You *must* email committee at cucbc.org to scratch. If you fail to do so you will disrupt all racing and annoy your intended opposition. *Boat club bills:* Still being drawn up, apologies for the delay. This will not affect whether you can race the JER. (For reference: Club bills, once sent and communicated to captains, must be paid by the deadline shown, normally either the next CUCBC race or Captain's meeting, otherwise the crew risk disqualification from CUCBC-run races and being banned from the river.) *Bank Party Sizes:* Restricted to *TWO per crew.* You will be fined for anything over this, as it risks overcrowding the towpath and compromising distancing practices. *Ending point on COVID-19* We are aware of the recent announcement delaying the final relaxation of COVID-19 and we understand the need to stay cautious and vigilant and respond to the rise in cases seen nationally and in Cambridge. The current JER format has taken several factors into account: Numbers of entries, competency and availability of crews, allowing all crews to race fairly, requests from Cam Conservancy and COVID-19 distancing. We have taken measures in organising the Regatta to limit the number of individuals required to run the races and ensure there?s no contact intended between any of the crews racing. However, even a relatively small number of spectators on the towpath could make it impossible for us to run the regatta safely and efficiently. We cannot close the towpath nor Ditton Meadows to the public, but spectators are strongly discouraged. If there are too many spectators and it?s not clear that they are all obeying the maximum group size (currently 30) and observing social distancing, we may be forced to suspend the regatta and cancel the remaining races, which would obviously be extremely disappointing for everyone here. It has been over a year since we have been able to run an Eight's event, we ask you to spread the word and discourage spectators so that we are not forced to cancel. *Public and Competitor safety is and must be our first priority.* With Kind regards, Lee Limeng Zhu CUCBC Honorary Secretary On Behalf of Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The deadline for GoR swaps has now passed, it will now *not* be possible to swap or move divisions as we prepare race paperwork. *Clarification on GoR:* In response to some queries - All crews who race the GoR and demonstrate they can do the course at race pace safely and competently will race in the regatta - The fastest 16 crews in the GoR will race in division 1 - The GoR race timings will be used to seed the first day's races to allow for the best possible racing - The GoR times for each crew will be released to captain's after the end of the regatta, to keep each day's racing competitive and exciting. - Crews which are obviously unfit for racing (from a safety or competency viewpoint) from GoR will be removed from racing with no refund of fees. (e.g. a crew which cannot row all 8s, cannot spin at the P&E without crashing and cannot row in a straight line, let alone race) *Links:* The final GoR division draws can be found here: https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/gor Information for the regatta will be published here: https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta Notes and fines on each day of racing will be published here (also on the right hand tab from the eights regatta page: http://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/notes_fines *Briefings:* Umpire's briefing details have been sent out; email committee at cucbc.org if you have not received these and you are umpiring. Novice Coxes' briefing will take place at *7pm this Saturday*, 19th June. If your novice cox cannot make the briefing they must email in. *Novice coxes must attend*; senior coxes, LBCs and captains are welcome to attend to gain a refresher. Crews who do not know what they are doing will cause delays. The joining link will follow. *Substitutions:* Thanks for those who have already started to email these in. As per the previous captains meeting we do not need to know the reason for the sub, just the following information: ----- Date of substitution: Crew having the sub: Crew member subbed out (Name+CrsID): Crew member subbed in (Name+CrsID): Confirmation of the following regarding your sub/s: The Sub is a student at your college, has not rowed with a town club this term and, if the sub is a senior rower, will not be rowing in any other crew in the JER: (yes/no) ---- Feel free to use the above as a template for your email (please do- it makes my life easier!), and we will email back confirming the sub. This is needed in case of dispute/complaint/appeal and requests for more CUCBC trophies if persons have subbed into a winning crew. Note the CUCBC rules do not allow doubling up of senior rowers, but there is an exception for novices for the JER as agreed by Captains (see JER rule 6.c.iii) , and there is generally an exception for exceptional circumstances (ie accident/injury on the day of racing). *Scratching:* You *must* email committee at cucbc.org to scratch. If you fail to do so you will disrupt all racing and annoy your intended opposition. *Boat club bills:* Still being drawn up, apologies for the delay. This will not affect whether you can race the JER.

Message-ID: Dear all, Apologies for circulating this so late - I appreciate you all have a lot on your plates sorting out subs for all of your crews, and I?m sorry to add to your workload. Unfortunately we?re all really busy too, so there just wasn?t time to get this out sooner (sidenote; if you know anyone who?d like to help with organising CUCBC races in future, please put them in touch - many hands make light work!). The Marshals rota can be found here: https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/marshals It?s essential that you send a marshal for each of your slots, as we can?t run the races without them. Marshals do not need to be particularly experienced, but please make sure they know how to pull a boat in without breaking its bowball off, and ideally use people who?ve competed in at least a few races before. It will make everything run a lot smoother if all marshals familiarise themselves with both the marshalling instructions (for competitors) and the instructions for Marshals and Umpires (both available here: https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta ) before their slot. Please ensure marshals know where the start is, so they know where to go to check in. If for whatever reason there?s no way your club can fill one of your marshalling slots, you can swap it with another college. Feel free to use the Captains list for this if you like. Once you?ve found someone to swap with, please email committee at cucbc.org to let us know, CCing the other club.

Unfortunately a large number of coxes yesterday were not complying with the BR requirements for stern-loaded boats. All coxes MUST wear a face covering AND eye protection (this can just be sunglasses, or regular glasses if you wear them) at all times whilst in the boat. Please ensure this message reaches every cox racing this week, and that they are complying.

URL: From conor at cucbc.org Wed Jun 23 02:34:01 2021 From: conor at cucbc.org (Conor Burgess) Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 03:34:01 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Substitutions & Draw clarifications Message-ID: Hi all, We?d just like to clarify a few points that have seen some confusion. On substitutions, if a member of one of your crews has to self isolate due to being contact traced for someone who has tested positive, this does fall under the ?exceptional circumstances? which would allow a rower / cox from a lower crew to double up to enable the higher crew to race. Sadly this isn?t beneficial to your lowest crews I?m afraid :( Please note that this should only be used as a last resort, and if possible subbing someone up a crew and subbing someone else in their place is preferable (for them too I?m sure, as they won?t have to race twice). Please note that the above should not be confused with a member of one of your crews being required to self isolate because their household pool test was positive and they?re awaiting their individual PCR, or they have symptoms and are awaiting a PCR result, etc. In these cases, the entire crew will be close contacts if the crew member does test positive, so the crew should withdraw from that day?s racing and not return unless the PCR result is negative. On the draw, please note that the Swiss System that the Captains? voted for takes into account the number of wins each crew has accumulated, but the order of those wins is not relevant in the same way it would be for a plate competition (or plate plate, etc.). The software which produces the draw is quite complicated, but the short version is that each crew should expect to race a crew that has the same number of wins as them, but that they haven?t raced before. In theory at least, this will result in not only an overall winner in each division (with tiebreak races in some divisions if required), but something much closer to the real ranking of all of the crews in that division than a plate / plate-plate style competition would produce (though admittedly with some ties that we won't have time to break).

I've been asked to pass on a letter from a Fitz Alumnus (Robert Doe) about an opportunity related to the delayed HRR this summer - please distribute it with any members of your club who may be interested/would be responsible for the logistics of events like this.

Today's notes and fines are appended below, which will be published on the website once we have sorted the draws and results. Apologies for the delay in the draws and results: we had to wait for a few queries to come back and some appeals are ongoing; we aim to get these out as soon as possible once we get a complete set and I shall email you once this is the case. Division timings will remain the same tomorrow. This draw and results will be subject to ongoing appeals and tie-breaker races, so please listen carefully to marshals and umpires instructions on tomorrow for last-minute changes. All best, Lee *Notes from the Umpires:* - Crews must not spin beside moored boats on Plough Reach. Either spin upstream of the Plough or downstream of First Post corner following marshalling instructions - Please do not be late to marshalling. We will brief marshals at the time stated on the marshalling rota so you need to come to the finish a few minutes beforehand. - A crew has had their day's result disqualified due to clashing with their opponent. Racing boats must stay on their stations; any crew being repeatedly warned by their umpire and not responding will be disqualified. - Away from the racing course, all crews must follow normal navigation rules, unless specifically instructed by an umpire or marshal. - Tomorrow is the final day of racing so we may require tie-breaker races in some divisions. Please listen carefully to any additional instructions given on the day, and bear with us as we react to race results to facilitate these races. *Fines (subject to appeal):* - Caius NM1 - Dangerous coxing: failure to stay on station causing blade clash - ?50 - Caius NM1 - Ignoring Umpire's instructions - ?30 - Caius M2 - Foul language - ?40 - Caius M2 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Darwin NW1 - Obstruction of umpire by bank party - ?15 - Emmanuel M1 - Repeatedly ignoring umpire's instructions, leading to blade clash and impeding opponent - Disqualification from today's racing. - Emmanuel W2 and Queens' W2 - Excessively close racing margin at the finish - please send suggestions for photo-finish systems to CUCBC. - Fitzwilliam NM1- Excessive bank party - ?30 - Fitzwilliam NM1 - Excessive bank party (second offence) - ?45 - Fitzwilliam NM1 - Excessive bank party (third offence) - ?60 - LMBC M1 and Caius M1 - Actually following respective stations in a very close race - Commendation for a very good race! - Lucy Cavendish NW1 - Racing with an ineligible crew member - Disqualification from today?s racing - Magdalene M1 - Foul language from Bank Party during racing - ?40 - Magdalene M1 - Foul language at finish - ?40 - Queens' M1 - Illegal practice standing start - ?15 - Trinity Hall M1- Illegal practice standing start - ?15 - Sidney Sussex - Failure to provide a marshal (second offence) - ?30 *Fines can be appealed by e-mailing Dr Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Senior Treasurer (seniortreasurer[at]cucbc.org ) within 48 hours.* Limeng Zhu CUCBC Honarary Secretary On Behalf of Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
