The aim is to use the template for producing bumps charts. These are a convenient way of displaying the results of a set of bumps races. Initially, it can be used primarily for the Lent Bumps, May Bumps at Cambridge University and the Summer Eights at Oxford University (although it's currently set up for division sized that are the norm in the Cambridge system), as the necessary symbols are loaded on Commons, but it can be expanded to include other symbols in the future, which would permit its use with Torpids and other bumps races with similar rules. As of now, not all possible symbols have been loaded, but these can be created as necessary.

Format and Symbols currently available edit

The chart is divided into squares. A week's chart is 4 squares wide, with each square's width representing a single day's racing.

Planned/needed symbols edit

1. more symbols at the bottom or top of a division, such as those for double-overbumps.

2. ones which can display higher order overbumps.

3. ones which can display the wide variety of possible movements in the Torpids system.

Example edit

This is the bumps chart for the women's 1st division of the May Bumps 2003, chosen because it includes most of the common symbols (overbumps are relatively rare in the 1st divisions).
