Is this some kind of marketing play to make people sign up for the Swordfish website?

Still amazes me how you guys can often find the information before it is posted up on FCRCC's website.

and it also surprises me why no one has posted their predictions for the weekend.   :lol:

Predictions,

Fighting for first:

Roli
DWW

Dog Pile on second:

JDA
Swordfish
Eye
TD
Fresh

Third:

RGL
Synergy
FCRCC Grandragons



Comp A Final...to look like....

SwordFish
DWW
Roli
JDA
Fresh


They got Hamber's name wrong, again...

West End Aqua dragons will probably eat Hamber alive with Synergy having enough time to do circles around them,

Yeah I did, whoops, throw that in too I guess,

I hear that Puppy has now whipped up some serious heat in TD and they're bringing it,

It doesn't amaze me. Communications at FCRCC are still not great. Feel free to complain to the exec as I do. :-)

I predict a clean sweep for FCRCC teams:

1. FCRCC Mixed
2. Roli
3. DWW

Could be pretty close as Roli and DWW are training very seriously.

Post by: coach_of_little_people on May 11, 2007, 09:37:33 PM
Coach? Regarding who and what team???

In general, for me...it's not about faith or lack of your abilities or your team's abilities...

It's about realizing that once you disregard you opponents (or assume there are none) that they'll come around and kick your sorry butt...

Everyone has a fair shot at the top spot(s) and if you assume you're going to be there, you have a greater chance of being kicked out...


Title: Results FCRCC Regatta May 12 2007
Post by: rb on May 12, 2007, 03:56:24 PM
The top 8

Comp Final
1. FCRCC
2. Roli
3. Strathcona DWW
4. Edgewater DWW

RGL (3rd in Comp semi #1)
Eye of the Dragon (3rd in Comp semi #2)

Synergy (4th in Comp semi #1)
JDA (4th in Comp semi #2)

There was no Comp consolation final but in the semis RGL was about a boat ahead of Synergy and Eye was about a boat ahead of JDA so I'd call them 5 and 6 overall. I'd put RGL at 5 based on times. Sikamikanico, your predictions were excellent.

Anyone have more results? Rec A looked very close.

It was a good day of racing and a big adjustment for the teams that do not have the "pleasure" of practicing in The Gems or Buks
Needless to say a few teams of stepped it up but there is still a month to go before the show.
I have to get the seal uniform pressed and ready for Alcan!

i think i prefer having the consolation races in the schedule so that everyone can have equal races and no one gets sent home early!  it was fun and great to see new faces and some familar faces that day.

I agree, I would have preferred 4 races for everyone. Didn't FCRCC say that all teams got 4 races? That part wasn't clear.
