The John Jenner Trophy was set-up to give Clubs who do well in a year something tangible to aim for. The rules are simple:

1) A club must enter at least 1 men's and 1 women's crew
2)The club gets one point or loses a point for each place gained or lost in the bumps.
3) A row over as Head of the River counts as 1 point per day.
4) All the points are then added for each club.
5) This total is then divided by the total number of boats each club entered.

The winner is the club with the most points, if there is a tie then the club with the most points and the most boats entered wins. Any other conditions are referred to the bumps committee for adjudication.
