What is happening with the pace column in this month's challenge? Just flagging in case nobody had noticed what looks like an error. I wish I could row at 1:35.7, but I know I really, really cant :P
read the instructions. RLR broke the rules.

Assuming this comment is a joke (?) as you posted it on the 13th of the month and 160+ people had already entered scores at that point. You can't possibly have thought not one of them would've not noticed?! :lol:

Hi

I am trying to submit my May score, but keep getting Password Incorrect and no way to reset it. Can you reset the Password for Chris Newberry please?

Thanks Joe.

Technically, since 1 statute mile == 1609.344 metres then 3 miles is 4828m. But, we can't really quibble over that extra metre caused by silly imperial measurements.

Hey all.

I did the May ctc last night May 31 at 1954 US central time, which is 0254 GMT June first. 1124 meters for a 1:28.9 ave. My score was on the board yesterday, moving team GARAGEATHLETE into 4th. Today, my score has been removed. Is there a reason why?
The rules state that the row should be completed before 1200gmt on the first of the new month, which I was ahead of by about 9 hours.

Thanks,

Chris Glasgow

Your score was recorded after 12:00 noon UK time, so got deleted.
I've added it back in.

Make sure you clear the cache in your browser before visiting the CTC site on change-over day.

Or is it possible to have a new team created so we (The Delivery Room) can have a Skierg too also?
Are we allowed to create a Skierg only team?

If yes can we have Delivery Room Skierg created.

Thanks in advance

You are only allowed to make a single entry for one team during each monthly CTC, I believe.

Fair enough.....feels a bit restrictive though and not really in the spirit of challenge and participation. Different erg score, for a different team doesn't seem like too much of a reach especially as most of us would be much slower on the Skierg.

I recognise this Alex, I didn’t create the rules, ask Doug or Daren?

You'll need to check with Casey Clarke (on the Faceborg) for the exact rules for skiing vs rowing teams on the CTC.
