Building lineups
Seat your crews boat by boat, resolve conflicts before launch, run A and B crews, and publish to the squad.
A lineup is the crew sheet for a session: which boats are going out, and who sits where. The lineup editor lets you seat athletes against real equipment, warns you about clashes, and notifies everyone once you publish.
Lineups are only available on sessions where the lineups option is switched on. You'll need permission to manage lineups for the session's squad.
Seat a crew
Open the session and go to its lineup. Add a crew and assign it a boat from your equipment - an eight, a coxed four, a quad, a single, and so on. The boat sets the available seats.
Fill the seats - Bow, 2, 3 … Stroke, plus the Cox where the boat needs one. Drag athletes in from your squad, or add them seat by seat.
Add more crews to the same session as needed - a whole squad can go out in several boats at once, each with its own boat and seats.
Handling conflicts
As you seat people, Rowbot flags problems so you don't find out on the landing stage. Conflicts are tiered: hard clashes show in red, softer warnings in amber.
Injuries are best captured as the athlete's holiday or unavailability, so they show up as a conflict automatically rather than relying on memory.
Multiple lineups (A and B crews)
Running selection, or splitting a squad by ability? Add several crews to one session and seat them independently - an A crew and a B crew side by side. Conflict checks run across all of them, so the same athlete can't end up in two boats at once.
Publishing to the squad
While you're seating, the lineup stays a draft - only coaches can see it. When it's ready:
Review the crew sheet and clear any outstanding hard conflicts.
Publish. This creates a published version, points the session at it, and notifies the seated members so they know which boat and seat they're in.
Need to change a published crew? Edit and publish again - members get an update notice, and they can acknowledge the lineup so you know they've seen it.
Keep seating in the draft until you're confident. Every publish notifies the crew, so repeated republishing means repeated pings.
After the outing, take the register - see Recording attendance.
