Spend two minutes here. Your coach builds lineups from what’s in your profile, and a half-filled one means you get seated badly or not at all.
Name — use the name your crew actually calls you. The roster and the lineup both display it, and “Michael Thompson” is less useful on a race-day seating chart than “Mike T.”
Email — where practice reminders, the day-before check-in, and waitlist promotions go. If you don’t read that inbox, you’ll miss a promotion off the waitlist.
Phone, and whether to share it — optional, and hidden by default. Tick the sharing box and your number appears in the team directory for teammates; leave it off and only your name and email show. Your manager may have typed a number in for you when they added you, so it’s worth checking the number is right before you share it.
Preferred side — left, right, either, or not applicable. The single most important field for seating. The boat needs comparable strength on both sides, and your coach sees a warning when someone is placed off their preferred side.
Be honest about “either.” If you can paddle both sides but you’re stronger on the left, say left. Coaches would rather know your real preference and override it deliberately than find out mid-race that half the boat is on their weak side. New and not sure yet? Pick “either” and update it after a few practices.
Weight — used to balance the boat left to right, and to check the crew total against what the hull is rated for. Enter it in whatever unit your team uses; the app converts.
You also choose who sees the number:
| Setting | What it means |
|---|---|
| Coach only (default) | Your crew’s admins can see it. No other paddler can. |
| System only | Nobody sees it. The app still uses it to balance the boat. |
Either way it stays inside your crew. If you’d rather not enter one at all, tell your coach and they’ll seat you by hand. An out-of-date number is worse than none, so update it if it has changed since the season started.
Which seats you can fill — paddler, drummer, steers, or any combination. Tick everything you can genuinely do. This is what tells the lineup editor you’re an option for the steering oar.
Stroke-eligible — tick it if you’re comfortable holding the rate from the front bench.
Discipline — sweep, both, or paddle.
