That would remove the smaller weaker (but still game) fish participants. We all want to score big no matter how small we are.<br /><br />grams <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />Ditto.<br /><br />My kids were wondering if the game would end after you'd been eaten a certain # of times. They would probably also like knowing how many big fish and little fish they'd eaten and how many "lives" they'd lost.<br /><br />My 3 boys did 44 fish games today. My husband did 13. I only did 3. I think you have a hit!<br /><br />Schenley<br />

I see <a href='http://www.concept2.co.uk/' target='_blank'>the Brits</a> are selling a PM3+ with a colour-screen! <br /> <img src='http://concept2.van-diepen.nl/fish_game.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> <img src='http://concept2.van-diepen.nl/fish_game_sharkbait.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Is a score of 1900 at 1:45 any "better" than a score of 2200 at 2:10? <br /> <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />Well, let's see with a couple suggested methods:<br /><br />Meters as a factor adjustment:<br />2200 * (923m/1000) = 2031<br />1900 * (1143m/1000) = 2172 <span style='color:green'>(Win)</span><br /><br />Meters as a Straight adjustment:<br />2200 + 923(m) = 3123 <span style='color:green'>(Win)</span><br />1900 + 1143(m) = 3043<br /><br />Watts as a factor adjustment:<br />2200 * (159watts/100) = 3498<br />1900 * (302watts/100) = 5738 <span style='color:green'>(Win)</span><br /><br />Some real numbers to check this method.<br />2535 * (200watts/100) = 5070<br />1755 * (300watts/100) = 5265 <span style='color:green'>(Win)</span><br />I've played 3 times and gotten eaten way too many times, so I really can't see this as being a possible "fair win" by this adjustment. With a straight adjustment this would be 2735 to 2055, still a clear win for the "strategic" approach.<br /><br />Watts as a Straight adjustment:<br />2200 + 159(watts) = 2359 <span style='color:green'>(Win)</span><br />1900 + 302(watts) = 2202<br /><br />Having no idea if these are realistic soring differences or not, it's obvious that the "Watt factor" is clearly NOT useful, but the other three look promising as to a "fair" adjustments. i.e. The slower rowers still can score all the same fishes, but the faster rowers will have incentive to not loaf. (Though I don't think that Brawn is going to have a chance against brain in this case. But watching the brawny try should be a hoot.) <br /><br />

I just wish the PM3 had a light, or will their be a version that will run on the PC screen like RowPro? <br /><br />Also adding your score like you do with the rankings could be fun.

Thanks all for the Fish Feedback- I finally got around to putting it on my home erg (I usually row at work). I went for a run around the neighborhood (been awfully warm here in Vermont for February) this afternoon and then did a couple of Fish Games to cool down. First one was an 1800, the second was a new PR of <u><b>2580</b></u>! Oh, and Paul, my average pace was 2:30.........JonW

Got another PR on the Fish Game. Mark Lyons (who co-owns the company that has has worked with us on all the PM3 development) temporarily knocked me off the top rung with a 2625 this evening. Not to be outdone, I managed a 2730 a little while ago.<br />Granted we're both a couple of ringers in this, but I figure it's just a matter of time before a lot of people figure the Fish Game out.

Take care of them shoulders, we seem to need the darn things almost every day for something.
