row2k's Virtual IRA 2020 - Men's Lightweight Eight
With the IRA falling victim to the COVID-19 crisis this year, row2k offers you our Virtual IRA 2020; we've taken 16 of the top IRA Lightweight Eight Champion crews going back to the 2000 IRA, and created matchups using our proprietary seeding formula. The top crews from each matchup will move on to the next round each week, until a champion is crowned.
Voting for the Finals is open from Monday, May 25th until Sunday, May 31st (5pm EST)
