Information for Team Captains about the upcoming Concept2 NARC Challenge!
The 9th Annual North American Rowing Challenge (N.A.R.C.) will be held March 15 – April 15, 2008. Create or join a team and row as many meters as you can for great prizes.
Complete challenge details can be found by going to concept2.com/narc.
What’s new this time around?
Teams must consist of at least 2 members.
Team captains can add members more easily.
To add a new member team captains will now need a member’s ranking ID# (found on their profile page) and email address instead of their name and email address. This will hopefully cut down on running into duplicate profiles when adding members.
There will be a limited time to set up your team and add members.
We’ve listened to your requests. Teams will have until March 28 (at 11:59 p.m.) to get set up and add new members. After that date, no new teams or members are permitted for this challenge.
It’s easier than ever to join a team and build your team!
Everyone who has a logbook now has access to the Teams pages and it’s possible for anyone to request to join your team. On your Edit Team Info page, you’ll see a new checkbox to designate your team as “Open”. If your team is “Open”, anyone can join your team immediately. If this box is not checked, only the team captain can add new members. If someone is interested in a team that’s not open, they will be able to send a ranking email to the team captain and express an interest in joining. The team captain will then get an email with easy links to respond to the person and to add them to the team if they wish.
Remember, however, that although anybody can enter NARC, only U.S. and Canadian physical clubs are eligible for prizes so, if you want to be in with a chance of winning, please ensure all team members are actually part of your club.
Let us know if you have any questions. You can always email us at
ranking@concept2.com.
We wish you many happy meters and lots of fun while rowing for the NARC Challenge!
