May 25, 2020 row2k
It's not the hokey-pokey, but it's definitely what it's all about.
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 fastest IRA Varsity Eight Champion crews going back to the 2000 IRA, and created matchups using our proprietary seeding formula. The top vote-getting 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)
