Morning Briefing - Sunday
OK team… today is going to be a lot of fun!
Yesterday was a little bit of a mixed bag of events, but today things are getting a little bit more serious.
First up we’ve got Youth Eights, followed by Lightweight Fours. After that we’re into Women’s and Men’s Championship & Collegiate Eights and then to wrap things up - Parent Child Doubles and Mixed Eights!
The day is going to start slowly, but by the time we hit Women’s Championship Eights it’s going to be two hours of hardcore leaderboard updates.
Use the app to see the timetable; Sunday’s Scorecard should show all of the race times in your local time so there are no excuses for missing it!
Plus there’s a link to the livestream…
🎯 Events with Outstanding Favourites (Biggest Gaps)
As we saw yesterday, the consensus doesn’t often mean that a particular crew is going to win - but it does show how the game is going to be affected by the results.
If most people pick a crew and they don’t win, it creates an opportunity for someone else to leap up the leaderboard!
