About

PRC Crewbird

Read full description

PRC Crewbird is the Pacific Rowing Club masters program's app for practice sign-ups, lineups, regattas and erg scores. Sign up for practices See the practice schedule and sign up with one tap, or tap Not going so your coach knows. Turn on a reminder an hour before they close, with a Sign up button right on the notification. Know your seat before you get there When your coach posts the lineup, you get a notification naming your seat and boat. Open it to see the whole boat drawn stern to bow, with every name beside their blade and the oars you're using. Share it as a picture, and lineups you've loaded open even without signal at the dock. Regattas Answer your coach's questions when you sign up: whether you're racing, which races you'd like and who you'd like to row with. Then see your crew, boat and oars for each race. Erg scores Log any distance or time you like, and follow your personal bests. If your team has a leaderboard, you choose whether to appear on it. It shows who's improved most as well as who's fastest. On your home screen Add the widget to sign up for your next practice without opening the app. Once the lineup is posted, it shows your seat, boat and oars, and the larger size shows your whole crew. For coaches Build lineups from who's signed up: place rowers and coxes, choose oars, add practice notes, and publish. The app suggests boats that fit the number of people coming, shows each crew's average age and masters category, and lists the people who coxed longest ago first when you pick a cox. You'll get a notification when sign-ups close, and late sign-ups are marked. For a regatta, build the race list, ask your sign-up questions and put crews together race by race. Time boat and erg pieces from the Coach tab. Add people who don't have an account yet and merge them into their account when they join, or set a team so everyone's expected unless they say they can't come. Keep track of your equipment with boats and oar sets living in one place and managing damage reports. Your profile Set your side, whether you like to cox, and optionally your weight, birthday and an emergency contact. Only coaches see your weight and emergency contact. You'll need the club code from your coach to join.
