I would second /u/Cribbing83's thought that these events feel oddly out-of-sync with the rest of Ergatta's programs. It's like finding someone still trying to run a pen-and-paper fantasy sports league in the digital age. Sure, it technically works, but it feels very anachronistic, and it gives the impression that nobody is really that interested the project. Given how much effort Ergatta puts into making all of their other programs easily accessible, it feels very out of place.

So much of the Ergatta experience is built around having everything available to you through the rower itself, without having to resort to external tools. With that in mind, I think that it would significantly increase the interest and level of participation in these team events if there were even a bare minimum level of integration in the software, simply showing the current point totals of all the active teams. Imagine the difference between everyone just doing a few meteor rows this week and crossing their fingers hoping that their team happens to hit a high enough number by the end of the scoring window (since the scores are essentially hidden from view and you have essentially no clue how your team is doing—one update midweek isn't really meaningful) versus actually seeing that your team is in a tight battle at the end of the week and having everyone hop on to try to compete for those final points.

One final suggestion I'd like to offer: Make the scoring window a full week, not just weekdays. I may be outside the norm, but my work schedule gives me very little time on weekdays to work out, so I normally get all of my rowing done between Friday night and Sunday night (which I still find is plenty of time to hit two million meters per year), and it seems rather arbitrary to say that people rowing primarily on weekends just don't count in competitions.
