Title: No race schedule yet for Taiwanese??? Post by: BernMan on August 31, 2007, 09:35:23 AM WTF?
These races will take place in less than 24 hours and still no race schedule on the website? WTF? :? How are teams supposed to plan when to meet etc? Title: Re: No race schedule yet for Taiwanese??? Post by: rightarm on August 31, 2007, 10:01:48 AM this surprises you?

Post by: BernMan on August 31, 2007, 10:03:31 AM this surprises you? :upsidehead: Nope not really considering it the same folks who ran the Harrison Races the past 3 years. Not by themselves but they were there to run things! LOL Title: Re: No race schedule yet for Taiwanese??? Post by: wanker on August 31, 2007, 10:18:29 AM Not to speak for race management, but you might check with whoever is the registered team manager or captain for the race, if it's not yourself. I've received a variety of e-mails and have a tentative race grid, although it's printed and packed in my luggage, so I can't really be of much direct help to you. As far as I understand, there is a meeting to be held tomorrow morning where the final grid will be distributed.
Dunno if we're getting "special" treatment because we're an out-of-town team. There was also talk of "race packages" to be delivered this afternoon when teams were supposed to turn in their rosters and waiver forms. From my viewpoint, they've done a pretty decent job in running these races, at least the past few years where we've come to them. Might not be Water's Edge, but they're not the Keystone Kops either. Title: Re: No race schedule yet for Taiwanese??? Post by: BernMan on August 31, 2007, 10:41:39 AM I know I am just a coach for my crew but I think I should be in the loop somehow, no? As for our team manager no email rec'd yet! Oh well.... :shock:
Title: Re: No race schedule yet for Taiwanese??? Post by: BernMan on August 31, 2007, 01:21:38 PM Thank you Nakano for sending me the race grid!
Only 29 teams huh? Too bad. Anyone got predictions? Besides the obvious that FCRCC should be 1st overall who we got for spots 2 to 6? Title: Re: No race schedule yet for Taiwanese??? Post by: Backward Rowing on August 31, 2007, 10:01:38 PM Nothing on their website (http://taiwanfest.ca or http://dragonboatassociation.ca). Since you guys have the race schedule, who is going to be there?

Post by: BernMan on August 31, 2007, 10:55:28 PM Nothing on their website ([url]http://taiwanfest.ca[/url] or [url]http://dragonboatassociation.ca[/url]). Since you guys have the race schedule, who is going to be there? I am just going off the list that I do have starting with the first heat up to heat #5: Heat #1 Gung Haggis Fat Choy Fluid Motion Ampco Grafic False Creek Mixed Elephant & Castle Booze Cruise Scaly Justice Dogwood Nothin' Dragon Seniors Heat #2 Saints Preserve Us RGL United Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy Soctiabank Dragons Synergy What the Fred? Dragon Hearts Heat #3 Dr'Agonize Ready, JET, Go! Just Dragon Along Synergy Rice Rockets Naluwan Race Face Heat #4 Draco Stealth Dragon Hearts Magnum Superslim Phat Phish Racing Red Fusion The EH Team Saltspring Dragon Boat Club Heat #5 Splash Test Dragons Synergy Legacy Team Storm Riptide False Creek Juniors That is a total of 29 teams. The assumption here is that this will be the "official" race grid. At least I would hope it is. I'd hate to find out that my crew has been shuffled around to an earlier time slot right when we get there only to find out that we have to time to prep for the first race. |
