The following information is shown

• Line 0 : Crew number NUM code COD and Club Name (CLB)
• Line 1 : Crew Position PFR and Time TFR in Race from the start as far as each timing point.

  
  The figure in (TDR) column indicates the total deviation in rank position for the crew for the three parts of the race when compared with its final position. If the crew maintained a steady position for all three sections of the race, this 'TDR' would be zero. A high 'TDR' indicates large change in position, which may be caused by a crew blowing up, or by bad steering or a problem in some part of the race.

• Line 2 : Status (STA); Position (PFS) and time taken (TFS) by crew for section of race between adjacent timing points. Total absolute deviation of these positions TCP from final position is shown on the right if it is non-zero.
  The figure in the (OTI) column indicates the number of overtaking incidents the crew was involved in, as indicated by the sequence in which crews pased timing points.

• Line 3 : Prizes PRZ for which crew was entered.

  
  The group (GRP) to which each crew is allocated is fixed in half minute intervals from the time of the fastest crew over the course. (Crews within 30 seconds of the winner are allocated to group 1, those between 30 seconds and one minute to group 2, and so on.)

  
  The spread of the group numbers in the final order gives an overall view of the variability of strength of crews from year to year, and also indicate the fortunes of new entrants.

  
  The two times given in ss.hh for each each location indicate the deviation of the performance of the crew relative to all crews in the same half-minute final-time grouping (DFG) and relative to all crews in the race (DFR), for each section of the race. This figure is obtained by multipying the crew's overall time by the average proportion of the course time taken for each section of the race by all crews in the same group GRP (for DFG) and for all crews in the race (for DFR).

  
  A positive variation indicates that the crew went slower than average over the section, a negative score that it went faster.
  NB - the total deviation for each crew is zero, so these scores indicate relatively slow and fast parts of the course for the crew, NOT overall speed.

  
  It is interesting to note that weaker crews sometimes go quickly off the start and near the finish, while the better crews perform relatively better in the middle of the race.

• Line 4 : The sequence (SEQ) and the time of day (GMT) as HH:MM:SS.HH (GMT), at which each crew passed each timing point.

The variability of performance of a particular crew over the three stages of the race can be seen by tracing its positions (PFS) at Barnes, ARA and the finish with a pair of lines drawn in the manner of a traditional bumps chart. A flat line indicates steady performance, while a steeply sloping line would indicate variation.

The following symbols are used to help search for information in pages:

• # indicates the number of a crew
• @ indicates the position of the crew in the race as far as one of the timing points
• $ indicates the sequence number for the crew at a location
• % indicates the position of a crew in a section of the race between two adjacent timing points.
