Umpires are also strongly encouraged to read the bank rider briefing slides.
Static Umpires
On Saturday cycling is not allowed and the Umpires will be placed along the bank as static umpires.
All bank riders for Summer Eights must have been briefed in the last 18 months on their role, legal responsibilities, and what to do in an incident.
The easiest way to receive the briefing is via the in-person meeting on Sunday 19th – see details below. If this is not possible, there will be smaller briefings at Race Desk, with more details to come closer to the date. We encourage all prospective bankriders to attend the briefing on the 19th to avoid any delays in following crews.
Briefed bank riders should come to Race Desk to sign out a bib before following their crew and then return the bib to Race Desk when finished.
The briefing is based on this presentation .
The timing for this in-person bank rider briefing is
All bank riders must have been to a bank rider briefing in the previous 18 months. If in doubt, please contact the Sabbatical Officer.
