For bike erg I don't see any reasons why you should cut meters in half, when entering your score. As only bike is compared to other bike entries (at least this was what I understood, when it was discussed), it shouldn't matter. Otherwise the page should do that to prevent failures by user calculation.
I agree, but that's my understanding of what they did, and it'll be difficult to change. I'll know for sure when I enter a score tomorrow.
I do think they will have a combined leaderboard, but to my knowledge there's no official rule sheet, so that's just my impression.

From what I see on the page, there is a dropdown to select the leaderboard for any of the machines.

So it is. I noticed it only after you noted it was there. Separated from the leaderboard by the "how great am I" panel (which is dead unless you go through a login process that seems to require several screens).

Yes, the site seems to log you out after some time for whatever reason.

A closely fought challenge in February ended with SPU occupying the first place on the leaderboard. Team Oarsome achieved their best result this season in silver position.
The Diamonds floated ninety boats, again, an impressive turn-out.
Welcome Top Tuggers. Fourth position for a first-time appearance is an encouraging start.
Future Challengers:
April - FIN KeU
May - Team Oarsome
June - Aussie Roos

Pennti has announced the April Challenge:
KeU Rugby
4 min, rest: 3 min
3 min, rest: 2.5 min
2 min, rest: 2 min
1 min, rest: 2 min
3 min
Enter your total distance (no rest meters).
First interval from a standing start, all the rest are rower's choice.
He explained the departure from the traditional Rugby Test which is based on distances rowed.
"April challenge is Time Based Rugby (easier to do in group when intervals start at the same time). We just wanted to keep the name the same but can be changed to "Time limited Rugby", too. Or "KeU Rugby""
