Rules & Info

We’ve got 2 ways to race!

1. Participate Virtually via ErgZone

To compete LIVE against other racers, you will need to use the ErgZone mobile app. This requires three things:

  • PM5 Monitor (with updated firmware).

  • Wifi Connection

  • C2 Logbook Account

Both the ErgZone mobile app and C2 logbook account are free. The only thing you pay to compete in one of our races is your entry.

2. Participate Independently Offline and manually enter your score on ErgZone with a screenshot.

If your erg doesn’t have a PM5 monitor:

 - Set up your monitor manually by programming in the race piece on race day and do the event at its scheduled time. 
 - Take a screenshot of your race screen at the finish.
 - Enter your race results into the free ErgZone app, including the screenshot of your monitor as soon as you finish.

**Racers in other time zones will have up to 24 hrs to manually enter their results to compensate for their location. This allows racers in different time zones to compete at reasonable hours.

Manual results will not be accepted with an incorrect race date displayed on the monitor. If racing in a different time zone, you must race on race day at the official start time. E.g., If the race starts at 9 am CDT on October 15, then you start at 9 am, whenever it’s 9 am on October 15 in your city.

Anyone competing in the Ergon Metron Series Cup MUST race on the scheduled race day of the event and at its scheduled start time (virtually or offline) to remain in contention for the EM Series Cup Championship.

RACERS IN OTHER TIME ZONES may compete at their local time on Sunday, October 15, but they MUST submit their results immediately after completing the event at their local time.

COMPETING ON AN OLDER MODEL ERG? If your erg doesn't have a PM5 monitor, you can still compete. You cannot participate in live racing, but your score will count in the official results and rankings. Just enter your race time manually and enter your results with a screenshot of your monitor on ErgZone so we can verify your event.

  • Manual Submissions must be entered on Sunday, October 15, and have the correct time per your location (9 am CDT in Chicago is 3 pm in London) to be counted in the official rankings and be posted on our website.

  • Make sure the date on your monitor is correct! We will only be accepting manual results from monitor screens dated 10-15-2023.
