Total Metres Ranking Table

[old] Johnny S · Post by **[old] Johnny S** » February 1st, 2006, 8:11 am

Would a new Ranking table designed to record total metres rowed for that season be a good idea? It could be open to all ages, genders and weights providing another incentive to rack up those metres.<br /><br />Your opinion please.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />John

Don't we already have that? I do think it'd be good to be able to view sub-sets of entries, but there will be some instances where a person has changed age category or weight category during the season, meaning that the data wouldn't technically be fair and correct.

On a related subject, I have suggested several times that there be a ranking page for lifetime meters. This would be independent of age, weight, or gender and would be rewarding to long time ergers. It might also provide incentive - passing the gal or guy one step above in the standings. <br /><br />john

There is no way to list and compare lifetime meters, nor is there a way to compare everyone, based on annual meters, based on age, sex, weight, etc. That might not be the hardest feature to program as it's just a new query and sort. Ha ha, easy for me to say.<br /><br />Regards -- Mark

Daren,<br /><br />His lifetime meters are saturated with sweat inside of the chicken-scratch filled notebooks.

The first thing I'd like to see is at least an "option" to separate the meters based on gender.<br /><br />Not considering weight and age, there's about a 10% difference in physical capacities between women and men. <br /><br />This is reflected in the total meters that either is able to accumulate over time.

I would love to see a Lifetime Meters Honors Board. I think it would be a great motivator to keep rowing, day after day, year after year. <br /> 2006 will be my first full season as a log participant and I spend a lot of time looking at the names around mine on the Annual Meters Honors Board to see who I have passed recently and who might pass me. Since the length of my workouts has increased significantly since last May I get to see my Average Daily Meters rise every day (as long as don't miss a day) and I am motivated to keep that going. I expect to move up to the 7,500+ board in the next couple of days and nothing will keep me away from my C2 until I do. However, once this season ends then improving my level will be much harder since the scores will be wiped clean. I will start on the 10,000+ board and have nowhere to go but down. <br />For the most part the ranking board celebrate the faster rowers, and rightly so, but we all need motivation. I know that I am as slow as a turtle, that my times will, at best, only ever be fair, but I do have the will to keep rowing even when I would rather be on the couch watching TV and eating potato chips. A Lifetime Honors Board would allow the slowpokes among us to garner some satisfaction from stubbornly plodding along.<br /><br />Larry

I'v just been to the Annual Metres Honour Board and it states that it records the metres of all ranking rowers. Searching through the lists I can only find rowers who have achieved >1500 metres per day. <br /><br />What about the rest, are they not included or am I missing them (myself included)?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />John<br /><br />
