FAQs

What is Fantasy Rowing

Started in 2015, Fantasy Rowing is a fairly simple prediction game for rowing events. You pick who you think will win and then you get points if they do. The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the event!

Does it cost anything to enter?

No.

How do I win points?

There are three types of points:

  • Win Points. 🏁

  • Entertainment Points 🎩

  • Speed Points. 🚀

Win Points are awarded to crews who win a race, crews who win more races will win more points. So if your crew wins an event with 32 crews you’ll have to race 5 times. If it’s a straight final you’ll just race once. But the points will be as follows:

  • Win a final - 32pts

  • Win a semi - 16pts

  • Win a quarter final - 8 pts

  • Win a heat 2 - 4 pts

  • Win a heat 1 - 2 pts

So in theory a crew winning the Grand with just two crews entered will come away with 32 points, but win the Thames Cup and you’ll earn 62.

Entertainment Points are for races where there are changes of lead and they go to the losing crew as a reward for having a crack at it. A loser who is leading at the Barrier or Fawley will win 1 or 2 points respectively. If they’re leading at both they’ll get four points.

And lastly Speed Points (formerly goat points) are for crews who break or equal records and they’re BIG (although not as big as last year).

  • 30 points for a course record.

  • 20 for a Fawley record

  • 10 for a barrier record.

  • Half points if you equal any of the records.
