Rowing is 'played' by racing boats agaisnt each other.

In some races called "head races" the boats are set off one after the other and the boat that wins is the boat with the fastest time in a category.

In regattas, the boats are raced in lanes and so it is whoever finishes the race first.

There are also indoor rowing competitions where lots of people gather and compete on rowing machines (ergos) and depending on what their race is the winner is whoever got the greatest distance or the fastest time.

There are many differnet categories for age, gender, weight and type of boat so each race is fair.
