C. IIRC Race Series events have three types of categorised Relay or Team:

Team Relay (2000m) consists four competitors assigned a rowing machine on which they must complete a 2k as quickly as possible with as many changeovers as they like, managing their own individual fitness levels & abilities. They may optimise the foot straps for performance but nothing else of the ergometer may be altered. Relay Categories will have only one winner per category.

Linked Concept 2 Slider pairs – teams consisting two competitors simultaneously racing a 2k with their average output determining ‘boat’ speed [As per Concept 2 Venue Race Manager software].

Interpro Teams consisting four competitors per Irish Province simultaneously racing their category distance or set time having their cumulative finish positions summed whereupon the province with the lowest score wins.

 


D. Other useful information:

Drag Factors may be changed before a race however MAY NOT be changed during an Individual or Team race.

We aim to schedule Rest Time of 1.5 hours between each event per category where possible.
