Title: Where & When are the Western Regional Qualifiers for 2008 CCWC?
Post by: Dr. Evil on December 09, 2006, 11:02:23 PM
I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the Western qualifiers for the 2008 CCWC in Penang would take place in Calgary during the Nationals (Aug 24-26, 2007), or even during the regular Calgary Festival like in 2005.

But when I look at the Dragon Boat Canada website it looks like they are trying to figure this out now by issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP): http://www.dragonboatcanada.org/Main.html

So to me, this looks like qualifiers are still up in the air as to which event & venue will get to host. Can anyone substantiate this or clarify? Thank you!

Cheers.

The deadline for submission of bids to host qualifying races was yesterday.  If no one put in a bid for the western region then you'll probably need to qualify in Calgary at National Championships.  For Central Region likely in Welland and Montreal in the Eastern Region.
