Editing Torpids (section)

===Trophies===
The first day's starting order is based on the previous year's finishing positions, and each subsequent day's starting order is based on the previous day's finishing positions. A crew that bumps on every day or that finishes at the Head of the River is awarded ''blades'' – the right to get trophy [[oar]]s painted up in their [[Colleges of the University of Oxford|college]] colours with the names and weights of the successful crew emblazoned on them. ''Spoons'' are awarded in case the crew was bumped on every single day. A third, somewhat unusual possibility is the award of ''spades''. The crew is both bumped and then proceeds to bump a crew in front of it before the end of the race. Thus being both the bumper and the bumped on the same day. Owing to the differences in rules between Torpids and [[Lent Bumps]] at the [[University of Cambridge]] this achievement is only possible at Oxford.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}
