Rowing events are called regattas. A regatta is also known as a 'race day'. It consists of an entire schedule of individual races between teams.
Rowing is a team race. The boat contains a team that must work together to win the race for the entire team.
the starter names each crew from lane one to six, then says attention! and a buzzer starts the race
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.

Rowing is physically and mentally challenging. It is the epitome of team sports; everyone must be perfectly in sync with regards to their timing as well as their determination in order to win. It gives a sense of pride to be one of the few that can take the challenge of rowing. After all is said and done, to win a race is the best feeling in the world.
Because the only way you can deserve to win a race is to be the fastest boat on the water on race day.
not sure what you mean by this, but if you mean the Olympics, they race on a 2000 meter course, the world standard. i know in the u.s. scholastic teams (high schools and some colleges) race on a 1500 meter race course. that's about as short as it gets though
