Race Rules & Info
Attention Racers! If you are competing in a different time zone or on an older model erg, offline independently, you must submit your results on the ErgZone app within 24 hours of completing the event at your local time to be eligible for Ergon Metron Series Cup rankings and prizes.
The submission window will open after the live virtual event in Chicago is completed. Once we finish racing here in Chicago, the event will be unlocked on the app for you to submit your score and screenshot of your monitor.
The submission window will remain open for 24 hours after the offical race date and start time.
If you miss the official start for any reason, you can still submit a time manually on the ErgZone app within 30 days of the official race date to earn your EM Master race cap but you will be out of contention for the Ergon Metron Championship rankings and prizes.
