May Bumps 2011

File:Caius Rowing Blade.svg {{Camb|CA}} men bumped up on Wednesday and Thursday, and rowed-over twice to reclaim the headship they lost to {{Camb|TR}} in 2008. They hold the double Headship after becoming the head boat in Lent Bumps 2011.

File:Downing College Rowing Blade.svg {{Camb|DO}} women bumped {{Camb|PM}} on the first day and then rowed over the next three days. They also now hold a double Headship from Lent Bumps 2011.

File:Downing College Rowing Blade.svg {{Camb|DO|2}} gained the highest men's 2nd VIII from a falling {{Camb|TR|2}} by bumping them on the final day.

File:Pembroke College Cambridge Rowing Blade.svg {{Camb|PM|2}} remained the highest women's 2nd VIII despite falling to 20th due to bumps from {{Camb|SE}} and {{Camb|PT}}.

File:Rowing Blade White.svg {{Camb|ME}} won the Pegasus cup for the first time. The club's two boats both won blades despite {{Camb|ME|3}} not gaining a place throughout the Getting-On-Race (see below).

{{Camb|QU|4}} rose an impressive 6 places, moving into Men's division 5, by bumping into the sandwich boat position on the final day before over-bumping on {{Camb|AD}}.{{Cite web|url=http://www.cucbc.org/bumps/results/6/3|title = Bumps Results | CUCBC}}

Below are the bumps charts all 6 men's and all 4 women's divisions, with the men's event on the left and women's event on the right. The bumps chart represents the progress of every crew over all four days of the racing. To follow the progress of any particular crew, simply find the crew's name on the left side of the chart and follow the line to the end-of-the-week finishing position on the right of the chart.

Note that this chart may not be displayed correctly if you are using a large font size on your browser. A simple way to check is to see that the first horizontal bold line, marking the boundary between divisions, lies between positions 17 and 18. The combined Hughes Hall/Lucy Cavendish women's crews are listed as Lucy Cavendish only.

The Getting-on Race (GoR) allows a number of crews which did not already have a place from last year's races to compete for the right to race this year. Up to ten crews are removed from the bottom of last year's finishing order, who must then race alongside new entrants to decide which crews gain a place (with one bumps place per 3 crews competing, subject to the maximum of 10 available places).

The 2011 May Bumps Getting-on Race took place on 10 June 2011.{{cite web|title=May Bumps Getting on Race Getting On Race|url=http://www.cucbc.org/mays/gor|work=CUCBC|accessdate=2011-05-23}}
