£12.00 per seat (coxes free) ((total for both days))

Prizes:

Prizes will be awarded to the winning crew of each category on the Sunday, provided there are more than three entries.

The University or College that wins the overall competition (decided through a points system, which will be published at the time of the draw) will win the ‘DUBC Winter Challenge Cup.’ Bias for point allocation will be given to Championship events, followed by Intermediate events, followed by Beginner events. Points awarded on Saturday for the head race will be weighted to half that of the points awarded on Sunday.
