The activity in the sport of rowing where-by a crew, athlete or club selects the events in which they compete on the basis of how likely they are to win. So-called because of the peuter or glass pots (drinking vessels) which are traditionally presented to the winners of rowing events.
It allows competitors to achieve the 'success' of a win by mearly finding an event of low enough standard for them to win be able to win. This effectively under-mines the notion that "to win, one must train hard and achieve a high standard". For this reason the practice of pot-hunting is generally looked-down upon by the rowing community, where hard-work, dedication and selflessness are valued attributes.
In everyday life it would be akin to only making sexual approaches to ugly or slutty girls/boys, so as to be sure of success.

The sport were you circle around the neighbeourhood on an ATV with a harpoon/ shotgun mercilussly hunting any fat kid you may see. This is called Urban fat kid hunting.
Rural fat kid hunting is when you leave a peice of cake in the woods then leave for an hour then come back on an ATv and a shotgun, by then all the fat kids within 500 nautical miles will have picked up the cake's scent and will be wanderng through the woods. Rural fat kid hunting makes for a damn good huntin.
