Organising a rowing race, a regatta or an indoor rowing league? Blyzer makes the organisation easier – from crew entries into categories, through the start list, heats and repechages, to times, results and final rankings. Whether it is a 2000 m club regatta, a 500 m sprint on the canal, a school indoor rowing race or a winter rowing machine league, you have everything in one place and no paper start lists.

Suitable for rowing on water and on rowing machines – single sculls, double sculls, fours, eights, school, club and open races.

Why organise rowing with Blyzer?

Crew entries

Rowers or clubs enter crews via a link into a category (single, double, four, eight, age) and your start list is ready.

Heats and finals

Set the format – a timed race, heats with repechages and A/B finals or a league over several rounds – and the system prepares the schedule.

Times and rankings

Enter the race times and the category rankings, progression from heats and final results are recalculated automatically.

Regatta history

An archive of seasons with times and rankings – every crew can see their results from past seasons.

The most common rowing race and league formats

Choose the format that fits your race – Blyzer generates the start list, heats and league standings. You can set up any format in the wizard in a few minutes.

Race

A timed race – every rower or crew goes for themselves and the time over the course (2000 m, 1000 m, 500 m sprint) or on the rowing machine decides the category ranking. Results by category and overall.

How to: Create race → Configure → categories and distances → open entries → enter times.

Heats + finals

Crews start in heats by number of lanes, the best go straight to the A final, the others through repechages or to the B final. The classic regatta format.

How to: Create tournament → Configure → number of groups and advancing crews → Generate groups → Generate play-off.

Sprint duels

Two crews side by side on a short course, lose and you are out. A spectator-friendly format for city sprints and indoor rowing events – seeded by qualifying times.

How to: Create tournament → Configure → no groups, play-off only → Seed crews → Generate bracket.

Season-long league

A regatta series or a winter rowing machine league – points in the individual and club standings for every round, an overall winner at the end. For clubs, schools and corporate indoor rowing leagues.

How to: Create league → Configure → number of rounds and points system → Generate schedule → enter results after each round.

Not sure which format to pick?

Our guides compare the formats, give recommendations by number of crews and lanes, and share tips on heat scheduling and age categories.

Tip: With 6 lanes and more than 6 crews, go for heats + finals; for the whole winter, a rowing machine league.

Rowing – FAQ

Can crews be entered in different boat categories?

Yes. You keep separate rankings for each category (single sculls, double sculls, pair, four, eight, lightweight, age classes) – the club enters the crew straight into the right one.

How do heats and repechages work?

You split the crews into heats by number of lanes, set how many go straight to the final, and the system generates the next races – the A and B final results go straight into the rankings.

Can it handle indoor rowing races too?

Yes. Indoor rowing races over 500 m, 2000 m or for time get their own start list, times and rankings by category – ideal for winter club and school competitions.

How much does it cost?

The basics are free – you can create and row a race, regatta or league at no charge.
