You are joking right?
There is only 1 race, with only 2 teams.

The race only happens between Oxford & Cambridge university teams; seems a bit exclusive!

Are you for real. There is only one race with the 2 teams (Oxford and Cambridge) ergo there are no heats, no quarter finals or semi finals.

You can't have any other teams in the Boat Race! It is just Oxford and Cambridge and is part of their tradition. There are no qualifying races.

When you know the words to the Eton Boating Song, you'll understand that they can never find more than 16 to do it in public.
Jolly boating weather
And a hay harvest breeze
Blade on the feather
Shade off the trees
Swing swing together
With your backs between your knees
Swing swing together
With your backs between your knees

Because they are the only 2 teams to enter it, hence the name:
Oxford and Cambridge boat race.
Dooooaah

this could be an common one. If the international gets too warm, we've shown that we are in a position to stay to tell the story it with the aid of fact the "Cradles of Civilization" have been in warm, dry areas. If the international gets chilly, then we've already shown that we are in a position to stand up to ice an prolonged time, and that's with out any "intense" technologies. If the international gets overpopulated, it is going to, out of necessity, stability itself out. i do no longer think of we ought to tension approximately surviving the subsequent a hundred years. the authentic question is a thank you to we save the subsequent a hundred years from growing to be to be the subsequent dark Age.
