This list is printed in sequence order (SEQ) for each timing point, and shows times of day (GMT) at which crews numbered (NUM) with short names (COD) passed each timing point and the gaps (TGS) between adjacent crews at each point.

The starting interval between crews is nominally 10 seconds, though there are some gaps of about two minutes before the new entries as well as between other sections because of the marshalling arrangements which are used above Chiswick Bridge and on the course itself, which has to be crossed by crews returning upstream to boathouses after racing.

The average starting interval during the 90 minutes taken to start all crews in the 1999 race was just under 14 seconds.

The time gaps between crews are notoriously difficult for oarsmen and coxes to judge during the race. "We gained/lost two or three lengths on so and so." is often heard after a Head Race. This table pin-points the gaps (TGS) between crews at the four timing points.
