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 & 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.

The event's official start time is 9 AM CST for all live racers!

• RACERS IN OTHER TIME ZONES may compete at their local time on Sunday, December 17, 2023, at 9 am, but they MUST submit their results immediately after completing the event at their local time.

• COMPETING ON AN OLDER MODEL ERG? You can still compete if your erg doesn't have a PM5 monitor. You cannot participate in live racing on ErgZone, but your score will count in our FFS website's official results and rankings.

• MANUAL SUBMISSIONS must be entered on the ErgZone app by the racer with a screenshot of your race screen at the finish on Sunday, December 17. Monitor screenshots must have the correct time per your location (9 am CDT in Chicago is 3 pm in London) to be counted in the official rankings.
