Spring VIII Series; Rowers Only?

Post by joe80 » March 30th, 2020, 3:17 pm

It's a positive move by C2 to initiate this competition while most of us are stuck at home.

The description seems to point to the use of Rowing ergs only but no mention is made of excluding Ski or Bike ergs. I've been asked about this by a member of my team and ask for clarification.

Regards,
Joe

Indeed no mention of excluding bike or skierg, however, all scores must be verified and the BikeErg rankings don’t include 4 mins, 2km or 6km, like the ski/row rankings do, so assuming a code wouldn’t work for that, it would follow that at least BikeErg’s aren’t included in this.

I’ll message C2 tomorrow to double check everything.

I have just received a message from c2 uk to say that this series is for the RowErg only, but there are more challenges in the pipeline for combined teams and other ergs.
