ERGData output

Hello,
I'm a new C2 owner (PM5) after deciding to upgrade my old V-Fit AR1. It was a little bit like getting out of a Renault Clio and into a Lexus to be honest.
Anyway, I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and wondered if someone could answer some questions.
I played the Fishing and Darts games which were recorded in ERGData but it didn't record the actual score! The data is kind of meaningless without the score and also doesn't give you any motivation to replay and 'beat your best'. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a design flaw?
Similarly, I tried the race option and was hoping it would create an NPC rower to race against. When it didn't do that, I at least hoped it would create my ghost so I could race against myself going forward, but again it doesn't seem to do any of that. Is this me missing something or is this how it's supposed to be?
I looked at ERGRace but I don't want to have my exercise time scheduled that precisely. I also looked at things like Kinomap to try and get a virtual row experience but I couldn't find any way of getting a rowing course to open and operate so I binned it off. Everything else seems to be on a monthly subscription level which I'm not willing to join. I live by a river and actually spend the BST months of the year on the water in a kayak. The rowing machine is to tide me over during the too cold/too much water months and to fill in should river levels rise too much at any other time of the kayak season. All this means that rowing is not my primary exercise source so paying for a rolling subscription doesn't seem worthwhile.
I used to do an interval run on my old machine of 1 minute 25spm 1 minute 38spm for 7 runs but I'm not sure how to set that up. Would that be Constant Intervals?
