Q: Do I
have to do the individual qualifications even if I want to start as a team?
A: Yes, or rather there will only be individual qualification workouts. Whether you start as an individual or as a
team will be determined by the rankings.
Q: Do I
have to start as an individual if I qualify in the top 32/M or 24/F?
A: No, you do not have to. You may also
decide to start as a team. However, it
is in the spirit of the ZRH GMS that you start in the "right"
category. Especially if both team
members have qualified for a top place.
Q: How many
team spots are there this year?
A: There will be 32 spots for "Teams of any Two" and 24 for
"Teams of any Two Masters".
Q: When do
I have to decide with whom I want to form a team?
A: After the qualifications are evaluated, there will be a leader board for
women and a leader board for men. After
that the top 32/M and top 24/F will have to decide if they want to compete as
an individual or as a team. Then you
will be asked to team up. The scores of
the two athletes will be added together. Based on these new score, we will form new leader board
for "Teams of any Two" and for "Teams of any Tow Masters". So you have the possibility to tactic, with
whom you want to compete at the ZRH GMS 023.
Q: Why do you merely add the points from the leaderboard?
A: By adding the points on the leaderboard we consider gender, age and gender proportion. Lastly, the workouts were also structured accordingly.
Q: What are
the conversion rates between the male and female athletes?
A: If men have to row 1000m, then women have to row 860m. For weights the factor 1.3 applies.
Q: How will
the results of the qualification workouts be communicated?
A: We again use https://competitioncorner.net/
as a platform. On the one hand you can enter your results and provide a link to
your video. On the other hand you have
the possibility to organize yourself in your box in a way that no video is
necessary. This means that a dedicated
business member of your box or dedicated coach verifies the results. We will be happy to instruct this person on
the procedure and standards. In a
nutshell: Workouts need to be done always
under the surveillance of a member of the box management or a coach. Athletes
need to judge each other. Score sheets needs to be signed by member of the box management
or coach (who ever surveyed the workouts), athlete who did the judging and the
actual athlete.
Q: Should I
do the qualification even if I don't have a partner yet?
A: Definitely yes! Do the qualification
workouts even if you don't have a partner yet.
