Rules and Regulations

1. Ranking pieces can be done on any model Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg, BikeErg or StrengthErg.
2. All ranking pieces must be fixed duration pieces (no interval pieces) started from a non-moving flywheel. Accelerated starts from moving flywheels during intervals are not accepted as ranking times.
3. The machine should be on a level surface during the piece.
4. Modifications to the machine that alter its performance are not allowed. Examples of allowed modifications; seating, pedals, handlebars. Please check with Concept2 if you are unsure.
5. There is no required damper setting. You are free to choose the setting you prefer and you may change the setting during the piece as long as it is done by the person using the machine. Learn more about damper settings.
6. RowErg may be rowed with or without Slides.
7. Distance pieces must be set up as a preset workout so the meters count down. To learn how to preset a workout on your monitor, please see the Monitor Support section on our main website. Once the piece is completed, the tenths of a second will appear with the finish time.
8. Timed pieces must be set up as a timed-based workout so the time counts down during the piece.
9. Rep pieces for the StrengthErg can be done as either a Fixed Rep or Just Rep piece.
10. StrengthErg ranked pieces should make sure they follow our movement standards.
11. When using the BikeErg, the air flow to and from the flywheel cannot be obstructed in any way with additional objects or covering materials at any point during the piece or the preceding calibration verification.
12. The Ranking is an honor based system. Using any methods to gain an unfair advantage or entering false or erroneous information are not allowed.
