Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic a number of temporary changes have been made to the format of bumps racing this Trinity Term. They are outlined in the temporary rules below.
Entries must be completed on the Entries system. Entries will close on Saturday 27th May (5th Week) at 11:59.
The scratch deadline will be at 04:00 on Tuesday 1st June. Withdrawals after this time will still be permitted but may still incur entry fees and marshalling allocations.
Substitutions maybe made on the Entries system until 4am on each day of racing. After this time substitutions must be made by calling Race Desk on 07341500865 (Racedesk opens at 10:30 each day)
Entry Fees for 7th week Summer Torpids 2021 are £50 per Eight.
If you have any issues, please email the Race Secretary (secretary@ourcs.co.uk).
TEMP 1: The bumps races occurring in Trinity Term 2021 will be held in 7th week, from Tuesday to Friday, with Rowing On occurring on Saturday of 6th week.
TEMP 2: For the bumps races in Trinity Term 2021, the sizes of the divisions and which crews are required to row on will be determined by the OURCs secretary after the close of entries, in conjunction with the SUs.
TEMP 3: The substitution rules (A3.5.a-e) will not be in place in the bumps races of Trinity Term 2021. Instead, the rules will be determined by the OURCs secretary and the SUs closer to the event date, taking into account the envisioned COVID restrictions at the time. These will be circulated prior to the entries closing.
TEMP 4: The bumps races occurring in Trinity Term 2021 will follow the Torpids format of crews continuing racing after being bumped, whilst the crew that has bumped them winds down and stops racing, however people who have been selected for a university squad boat will not be prohibited from racing.
TEMP 5: In the bumps races occurring in Trinity Term 2021, coxes will be permitted to cox more than one boat, if this is the safer course of action and complies with the substitution rules determined by the college.
TEMP 6: In the bumps races occurring in Trinity Term 2021, associate coxes in fixed divisions will be at the discretion of the event committee.
TEMP 7: The bumps races taking place in Trinity Term 2021 will use and inform the Torpids bumps charts (using the final finishing order with re-insertions from Torpids 2019).
As you will be aware, we are only able to run bumps this year if we commit to having it as a non spectator event. To help people to be able to keep in touch with the racing, we have a professional live stream, with multiple fixed camera positions providing coverage of the river planned from First Sight Media – an Oxfordshire based professional events broadcasting company.
This stream will be available during the hours of racing at: https://www.oxfordbumpsracing.com/ and, in the following weeks, the footage will be transferred to the OURCS you tube channel for your viewing pleasure into the future.
But for bumps to work we need all boat club members to be aware of, and to follow, these guidelines:
On the towpath, the path from the Abingdon Road to the towpath will be closed, with access to competitors only. Anyone may exit via this path.
The towpath will not be closed as it is a public right of way. It will be heavily signed, to remind people of current COVID regulation and the need to not hold a spectator based event at present. There will be security staff on bikes patrolling to move on any crowds with the knowledge and support of the necessary authorities.
We have emailed all bursars, development office teams and key teams in the central university communications department to try to spread the message far and wide – bumps can only happen this year if we all commit to keeping the event as spectator free as possible. Racing cannot continue if crowds build up and we have taken every possible measure to provide an alternative way of watching the event and to communicate that we need help to successfully run it by simply staying away unless you’re racing. Clearly this isn’t the style of event we’d like to be running but it’s the only event we can run under current conditions. Please, don’t seek loopholes – follow this guidance and then we can preserve the racing that we all very much want to enjoy.
