  • Daily stage winner - this is the person who rows the most meters on a particular day.
  • Most meters in a single session - this is for the person who rows the most meters at one time.
  • Most days rowing - this is for the most consistent rower. Who can row all days we are open in May. In the event of a tie, we will resort to ranking by total meters rowed for the month.
