Starter
Finish the test with good technique and a sensible pace plan.
Bronze
Faster than the 25th percentile of ranked rowers worldwide.
Silver
Faster than the 50th percentile of ranked rowers worldwide.
Gold
Faster than the 75th percentile of ranked rowers worldwide.
Platinum
Faster than the 90th percentile of ranked rowers worldwide.
RowPT Age Grade Score
Makes every age race every other age.
100 means Gold for your age and gender, so a 72-year-old and a 25-year-old can race on one leaderboard. A 68-year-old on 101 beats a 35-year-old on 97.
Score = Gold time ÷ your time × 100
Example: Gold for a 50–59 woman at 2000 m is 8:17.1. She rows 8:30.0, so her score is 97.5.
