Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

Super performance by SPU in March: I can't remember when a team has occupied the top two places on the leaderboard. The Diamonds launched 73 RowErg boats and a furher four on slides. In my unofficial table, I'm going to show just RowErg entries. I'm afraid this means that the SkiErg team will be mis...

There were some great performances over the 5km January challenge. SPU finished on top of the leaderboard with The Diamonds producing 92 boats on the virtual river. Both VESLUJ.com and Aussi Roos, having as new teams produced boats on three consecutive months, qualify for a challenge. A team represe...

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

The Gee Crew's challenge for February is 300 metres with normal rules applying. Tommy is keen to get more youngsters involved in indoor rowing and would like the title of the challenge to be 'Encourage The Kids'.

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

Congratulations to the Delivery Room for breaking the hold that SPU has maintained so far this season. Welcome to the Aussi Roos and Vesluj.com who have both made an impressive start.

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

I've attended many indoor rowing competition venues and can't recall any instances of more than a minute between the 'Stop Rowing' and 'Go' instructions. The fan may be still moving but there is very little energy retained after thirty seconds of inactivity.

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

For me that sounds like "Separate CTC for dynamics" and I agree to that, like it's for skierg. Yes, the wording of the added option was not clear on facebook. Casey has clarified that it's a vote for a skierg type team, where all dynamic users are in the same team. For information, at this moment, ...

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

While I would personally allow slides or dynamics, I don't think it is right to disenfrachise the former and not the latter when the differences are similar. I would also be in favour of allowing a "dynamics team". Hi Iain, I'm not clear which of the three options you are choosing, if any. Like man...

Re: Cross Team Challenge - Discussion Thread

There's a poll, conducted by Casey on facebook, on whether dynamics should continue to be allowed in the CTC. Currently, the voting is close. Previous votes have used the Google Poll so that members of this forum who do not wish to be on facebook could express their view. This poll effectively disen...
