Does anyone know if it's at all possible to program this into a PM2?

Definitely not. Variable intervals were a new feechur on PM3 and up. You'll be stuck with a stop watch and a pencil and paper (pencils work better when you're dripping with sweat).

Hello all !

Dougie, is it possible to manage an event name changing for this month.
this have been a part of the polls that have made our choice... and this will be fair to our members that have voted !


The name of this event is "Happy FIRTmas"

Many thanks

The standard of erging during the November CTC was impressive. Sub7 won the 1km challenge with a remarkable 2m55.6s average. To put this in perspective, Forum Flyers won the previous 1km challenge with an average of 3m08.5s. Indeed, they would have won that September 2013 event with their performance last month which put them in 8th place. Congratulations to all ninety boats that launched on the virtual river and particularly to Sub7 for putting twenty in the water.

A big welcome to BW Rowing who made a strong start in 13th place and launched four boats. New teams may claim a challenge after they have produced ranking boats on three consecutive months.

Free Spirits have the January challenge, Empty the Tanks have February and Forum Flyers are nominated for March.

Regards,

Joe

Hello !

Many thznks Dougie for the event name change. This is very appreciated !

One more request : double entry by my fault last month.
I created accounts for new athletes, and dod not paid attention that one of than had already done this by his own.
Could you please delete at least "Cap Marara JC" entry ? And if this is possible, this account.
In order not to distirb the rankings I changed the score to put this account the last ranked.

Same person has put his results with the account "Winter JC Cap Marara"...

Thanks in advance and sorry for this.

Is the distance of the no. 1 spot on the leader board for Dec ctc a typo mistake?

Since nobody can row that fast I've updated lulunac27's result to knock them off the top of the heap until they come back with a corrected result.

I've deleted that entry and that userid. Anyone who games the system will suffer the same fate.

A google of the userid, pointed to a teenager as being the only person using it, I guess he thought it was fun, perhaps it's the modern equivalent of knocking on someones door and running away...

For someone at that level, that's a big improvement.
(I'll be here all week.)
I assumed it was someone having trouble making their entry. The two entries were similar. I know I wouldn't try to enter a result using my phone.

The entry is still there. As a Free Spirit member I don't like this at all. I would like to see where my team stands with real rows. Will do the CTC this evening.
