Title: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: DBWTim on June 16, 2009, 01:36:57 PM Since everyone's been dying to see when and who they are racing this weekend, we managed to get our hands on the race grid this afternoon.
If you have a PDF reader, you can see it here (http://dragonboatbc.ca/docs/2009/AlcanFestival2009_GridV3.pdf). Teams should probably check their website for the latest race grid in case there's any revisions or corrections. *REVISED to direct to Version 3 - June 19, 2009* Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Mike on June 16, 2009, 02:09:59 PM Thanks!
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: BernMan on June 16, 2009, 02:55:21 PM Anyone care to make predictions?
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: paddlecwazy on June 16, 2009, 03:25:57 PM Is anyone aware on how rankings are being done for the Sunday Semi's?
It's pretty obvious that the 12 crews that win their opening race are straight into Comp A-C, but how are the rankings for the next 12 boats that qualify for Comp A-C done? Point system or time? If it is a point system does anyone know what points are awarded for each placing. Thanks. PS. and yes, I did read the rules & regs on in RTADBF website and they don't answer my question. Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Mike on June 16, 2009, 03:38:58 PM In your opening heat, if you place anywhere from 2nd to 7th you will still be eligible to make the competitive division. Then the top 12 ranked teams out of the 10 "qualifying" heats will advance back up to the competitive division. According to the race grids this is going to be done by points then by time. As to how the points are exactly distributed I'm not sure but clearly your finishing in your 1st and 2nd heat is taken into account.
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: alcanranker on June 16, 2009, 03:39:48 PM Well in the advancements for the second set of races it indicates the following:
"Top 12 teams in Recreational Division (based on points then time) to Competitive A/B/C semi finals; next 24 teams to Comp D/Rec A Semi Finals; next 36 teams to Rec B/C Semi Finals; bottom 10 to Rec D/E Semi Finals" It says based on points then time. That to me answers your question, yes :D? Is anyone aware on how rankings are being done for the Sunday Semi's? It's pretty obvious that the 12 crews that win their opening race are straight into Comp A-C, but how are the rankings for the next 12 boats that qualify for Comp A-C done? Point system or time? If it is a point system does anyone know what points are awarded for each placing. Thanks. PS. and yes, I did read the rules & regs on in RTADBF website and they don't answer my question. Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: paddlecwazy on June 16, 2009, 03:41:55 PM Aaahhhh the fine print...
So, how does the point system work? How many for 1st, 2nd & 3rd? Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: alcanranker on June 16, 2009, 04:02:39 PM In your opening heat, if you place anywhere from 2nd to 7th you will still be eligible to make the competitive division. Then the top 12 ranked teams out of the 10 "qualifying" heats will advance back up to the competitive division. According to the race grids this is going to be done by points then by time. As to how the points are exactly distributed I'm not sure but clearly your finishing in your 1st and 2nd heat is taken into account. Same as every year but to clear it up, you earn points (in your first two races) based on your placement (1st receives 10 points, 2nd - 8 points, 3rd - 7 points, etc) . If the number of points is the same as another team then times are looked at. The time is calculated as a differential from the average time in your heat (where the average is calculated by ignoring the fastest and slowest times in the race, adding the other times up and dividing by the number of boats). Here is a simple example of the calculation: Placement Time 1st 1:00.0 2nd 2:00.0 3rd 3:00.0 4th 4:00.0 5th 5:00.0 6th 6:00.0 7th 7:00.0 8th 8:00.0 We would ignore the 1st and 8th times and calculate the average from there, average time for a team in this race is (27 / 6 boats) = 4.50 minutes. This means 2nd place is 2.5 minutes faster, 3rd is 1.5 minutes faster, etc than the average and 7th place is 2.5 minutes slower than the average. The differential for each race is then added together to determine total time. This is used in tie breaking situations only. The reason differential is used because of the varying tides and thus you are being compared to how well you raced in your heat not against another race or another team (that raced 2 hours before you). This basically means race as hard and fast as you can in each race as it can have an affect on where you end up. Last year, there were some teams where the differential between making it into another division was .1 seconds. Hope that helps.

Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: BernMan on June 16, 2009, 04:18:02 PM You ROCK AR! :lol:
Thanks for clearly explaining what you do oh so well... Good luck to all crews this coming weekend! Predictions anyone? :) Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Mike on June 16, 2009, 04:21:07 PM I have a question though, there are some heats with 8 boats and some with 7. Would the point system apply the same throughout? Seems advantageous for teams with 7 boats since getting last would yield more points than getting last in a heat with 8...
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: alcanranker on June 16, 2009, 04:32:43 PM Would the point system apply the same throughout? Seems advantageous for teams with 7 boats since getting last would yield more points than getting last in a heat with 8... Points are the same if there are 3 boats or 8 boats, 1st receives 10points, 2nd receives 8 points, etc. It is advantageous, speaking from experience not really, if you were 7th in the first heat and 8th in the second heat that would give you 3 + 2 points which is 5 points, that will probably place you in the Rec D/E semis, if you did 7th and another 7th then you end up with 6 points which will probably end up in the Rec D/E semis (maybe the Rec B/C semis but if you really only beat one team out of the first two races do you want to be in that semi?). This is probably where that team should be, if they only beat one team in the first heat and cannot beat another team then they probably will end up in the division they should be in. We do watch and if there is a problem (i.e. steering mechanism failure etc then the judges have the discretion to award or remove points to properly place a team in the "right" division, has not happened yet but it is possible). AR Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: renovation on June 16, 2009, 04:56:48 PM do we get points for gettings points?
if so, can we trade them in for a stuffed animals or perhaps more points? Have awesome races everyone!!! as usual it'll be exciting! Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: alcanranker on June 16, 2009, 05:11:58 PM Only if your points are worth awarding points for if not we may have to take some points :lol:
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Garbage Miles on June 16, 2009, 06:09:55 PM Dragon Warriors and LA Racing Dragons Black are racing in the same first heat. That will be fun to watch.
Any idea who Jetstart is bringing over? I predict FCRCC Worlds for the win by 1 boat length. Kai will be close behind in 2nd. Rest of the pack will be scattered throughout. Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Mike on June 16, 2009, 06:16:24 PM Dragon Warriors and LA Racing Dragons Black are racing in the same first heat. That will be fun to watch. Yes that will be a tough heat :) Space Dragons in the outside lane is actually a very strong team as well. They are only seeded low because it is their first year at Alcan (I believe). Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: skygal on June 16, 2009, 07:15:13 PM just wondering...
if you finish in comp A or B do you have to compete in the guts and glory? what if your team doesn't want to? Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Mike on June 16, 2009, 07:18:01 PM just wondering... if you finish in comp A or B do you have to compete in the guts and glory? what if your team doesn't want to? Optional of course... you don't even have to compete in Comp A if you make Comp A :) Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: NFW on June 17, 2009, 02:59:36 AM Optional of course... you don't even have to compete in Comp A if you make Comp A :) ROFL! Dragon Warriors and LA Racing Dragons Black are racing in the same first heat. That will be fun to watch. Yes that will be a tough heat :) Space Dragons in the outside lane is actually a very strong team as well. They are only seeded low because it is their first year at Alcan (I believe). Sounds like a pretty tough competitive heat for the FIRST race of ur team's day. The outcome should be interesting. I predict FCRCC Worlds for the win by 1 boat length. Kai will be close behind in 2nd. Thats kinda contradicting hahaha Only if your points are worth awarding points for if not we may have to take some points :lol: Since Cathay Pacific is a sponsor, how abt trading the points in for flight tickets? lol My rough predictions for COMP A only: 1) FCRCC Worlds 2) Kai 3) Pemberton / FCRCC B 4) Pemberton / FCRCC B 5 to 8 will be a toss up between - lard - masters - WW - magnum - SIB - Jetstart? Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Kai Paddler on June 17, 2009, 10:11:36 AM What happened to Gorgin Dragons?
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: paddleboy on June 17, 2009, 10:14:34 AM Gorging apparantly is no longer ...a sign of the times
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Special K on June 17, 2009, 12:19:35 PM True at least for this season they are a no go for Alcan. Maybe they will regroup for next year.
Good luck to all teams, I will surely miss the comp 'A' finals but I'll be cheering on my big brother from the sidelines. Unless any comp teams are looking for a female paddler???? Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: LittleSchrodinger on June 17, 2009, 01:02:59 PM Well, Magnum IS a bit short on female paddlers.
NFW, your prediction sounds about right. It's true that the lack of Gorging is abit of a disappointment, but we'll see if there'll be any sleeper hits. Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: StrokeItHard on June 17, 2009, 03:47:55 PM I am really interested in seeing how the two teams from SF are going to do... Space Dragons and Dragon Warriors.. as well as how Portland Fire Dragons fit into the competitive scene at this year's Alcan. And of course... Hopefully us kids over at Magnum will do good too =] :think:
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Mike on June 17, 2009, 03:52:35 PM Space Dragons is a team from Los Angeles not SF :)
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: StrokeItHard on June 17, 2009, 03:58:48 PM Oops my bad! I should've edited my post.. but I wrote that before I went on their website haha. When do the American teams start arriving in Vancouver?
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Garbage Miles on June 17, 2009, 04:35:04 PM In addition to Gorging Dragons, Bay Area Dragons (BAD) are not coming, and the Laoyam Eagles are not racing in the Adult division.
Maybe the most interesting result will be between Magnum vs Masters vs Sudden Impact. They've raced against each other at least 2 times this year. Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: LittleSchrodinger on June 17, 2009, 04:43:22 PM I'm more interested in Magnum Vs Master and Without Warning result, especially when sushi is involved. :lol:
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: geo1bar2 on June 17, 2009, 04:44:06 PM Quote When do the American teams start arriving in Vancouver? Some paddlers today, more tomorrow, most on Friday. There are practices for many non-Canadian teams set for Friday afternoon. Since many have mentioned heat 10, and the DW vrs LARD battle... Anniemaniacs, from Portland, should not be left out of the discussion. The USA teams will be well represented in that heat. I am reading correctly, in that there are no open races, due to lack of entrants? Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: LittleSchrodinger on June 17, 2009, 04:47:12 PM Uh, there's still an Open division according to the racegrid, with eight teams.
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: geo1bar2 on June 17, 2009, 05:07:18 PM Quote Open division according to the racegrid, with eight teams. Got it. A yet un-numbered heat listed between 43 & 44 (does that make it heat 43A?) And a women's guts and glory at the end of day one, interesting! That's a L-O-N-G day for those ladies arriving early on Saturday AM. Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: NFW on June 17, 2009, 11:26:34 PM I'm more interested in Magnum Vs Master and Without Warning result, especially when sushi is involved. :lol: When money for sushi is involved, the motivation for winning always increases greatly hahahha Since many have mentioned heat 10, and the DW vrs LARD battle... Anniemaniacs, from Portland, should not be left out of the discussion. The USA teams will be well represented in that heat. Wow, now that you mentioned it, its 4 american teams out of 8 duking it out on their first race...exciting! :D the Laoyam Eagles are not racing in the Adult division. There's enough teens on Magnum to represent the youth lol What happened to Gorgin Dragons? What about Mauna Hale? Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: KarenRobertsPDX on June 18, 2009, 08:07:08 AM Mauna Hale is Mountain Home Canoe Club in Portland and do not "normally" enter dragon boat races as they technically are an OC team. Every couple of years they enter Alcan - look back over the past six years or so.
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: w on June 18, 2009, 10:49:28 AM Hello, my first post - I'm w/ the Space Dragons (Los Angeles).
We're stoked about the trip up to make our Alcan deput! Thanks Mike (LARD) for the shout-outs in the thread. Funny that we're traveling all the way to Vancouver just to end up racing against each other a bunch of times (Black/Red, Men, Women) :)! We'll give our best to provide some heat from the initial outside lane assignments. Look forward to meeting & racing w/ everyone ... and this fabled beer garden on Sunday afternoon. Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: NFW on June 18, 2009, 11:17:00 AM Mauna Hale is Mountain Home Canoe Club in Portland and do not "normally" enter dragon boat races as they technically are an OC team. Every couple of years they enter Alcan - look back over the past six years or so. Oh I heard abt that, I meant what about Mauna Hale as in what prevented them from coming this year specifically? lack of oc paddlers to field a team, etc? :D Look forward to meeting & racing w/ everyone ... and this fabled beer garden on Sunday afternoon. Always have a designated waker...to avoid missing your flights out, coz you guys had super fun time (read: hammered) on Sunday afternoon lol Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: vicpaddler on June 18, 2009, 01:59:42 PM Gorging apparantly is no longer ...a sign of the times There are quite a few Gorging paddlers still on the water in Victoria. Some are focusing on outrigger while others are just taking a summer to do other things. From what I've heard there may be a thrown together team in at least one festival this year and they will be back next year.... Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Rob on June 18, 2009, 10:35:10 PM Also for everyone that wants to continue to party after the beer garden tom foolery, The False Creek team is hosting the After party on Sunday night at the Kingston Taphouse Grille:
http://www.kingstontaphouse.com/ We will be partying into the wee hours of the morning. Tickets will be on sale at the False Creek tent and all over the race site. Look forward to competing with everyone, and seeing all of our out of town Guests. Race and Party Hard! Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: paddleBOT on June 19, 2009, 02:20:39 AM Version 3 of the race grid is out. Please see ADBF web site for latest version of the race grid and also the tent assignments.

Kai FCRCC Ohana ( I think this is how it was ) It was close between Kai and FCRCC and can't wait till tomorrow as it will be a nailbiter I'm sure .Fcrcc had a mishap during the race w/ 1 of our paddlers slipping off their seat and falling into the boat so we'll have to wait and see in tomorrows final .Kai has a very good team this year and has pulled in some great outside help ( some big names ) so it should be an awesome race if we can all stay in our seats ,lol Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Backward Rowing on June 21, 2009, 01:52:59 AM I'm bored.

Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: LittleSchrodinger on June 21, 2009, 10:55:21 PM Now that another Alcan's come to an end, I'd to shout out to all the teams for the weekend full of racing. :D Congratulation to both FCRCC teams and Ika for putting up a dominant effort in the races pocketing the hardware. I also would like to give credit to Master of Dragonzone, Sudden Impact Black, Air Canada Jetstart, and Los Angeles Racing Dragons for their effort and competitive spirit. Although the competition field does end up being smaller this year than last year, it was still a blast racing nonetheless. (Admittedly, a certain heat and its need for multiple re-races was quite the delay on Saturday.)

Post by: DBWTim on June 22, 2009, 09:32:04 AM Here's what everyone's been waiting for... that and more pictures and videos from this weekend.
Here's the official results of the 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival (http://dragonboatbc.ca/docs/2009/AlcanFestival2009Results.pdf) *Revised link to the RTADBF site. We've also got finish line pictures from the weekend here (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=271615&id=27017410385)* Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: LARDCore on June 22, 2009, 09:56:05 AM Wow. Another great tournament! Thanks to everyone that was involved in putting the festival together. As usual, you guys did great!
Our caller was wearing a headcam during Guts & Glory. Most of us watched the footage last night and it's simply amazing. Phil wants to spice it up a bit before he releases it. Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: Illuminate on June 22, 2009, 10:03:09 AM I hope it's like your San Francisco video because I watch that all the time
Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: LARDCore on June 22, 2009, 10:06:20 AM The footage is amazing - we aren't the fastest team in the world so there were boats all around - some passing us, ramming us, and some being overtaken by us.
Title: Re: alcan results ?? Post by: Lethal Weapon on June 22, 2009, 10:35:24 AM It was a great Festival!
Although I did not get much (if any) of a chance to see it I thought it was a blast with some good racing and the chance to see old friends (isn't that what its all about!) Too busy Saturday to get the old Cannon out but managed to sneak it on the boats for some shots. Sorry they are not as artistic and Kewl and Blizzy's (Awesome shots (and camera...drool)) but I do what I do with my broken camera (Thanks Tim.....Grrrr) Enjoy! Hope to be getting more shots in the next few festivals (I don't have to work those!Yeehaah, Beer garden here I come!)

Although I did not get much (if any) of a chance to see it I thought it was a blast with some good racing and the chance to see old friends (isn't that what its all about!) Too busy Saturday to get the old Cannon out but managed to sneak it on the boats for some shots. Sorry they are not as artistic and Kewl and Blizzy's (Awesome shots (and camera...drool)) but I do what I do with my broken camera (Thanks Tim.....Grrrr) Enjoy! Hope to be getting more shots in the next few festivals (I don't have to work those!Yeehaah, Beer garden here I come!) Nice capture with the photos you posted, LW! What happened to your camera?

Post by: Lethal Weapon on June 25, 2009, 01:09:56 PM Quote Nice capture with the photos you posted, LW! What happened to your camera? Ask DBtim........Grrrrrr...... :x I am going to have to upgrade it anyways as I have had the workhorse for many years. Its the best Sports Camera (IMHO) the Canon 1dMKII but I am eyeing the MKIII once I win the lottery or get a real job...LOL It still works but I am finding since the "mishap" it is over exposing shots and am getting more OOF's despite any settings I try and while photoshop is nice (You Rock at that!) I am too damn lazy to edit them..... Keep Shooting! Title: Re: 2009 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival Post by: superduper on June 25, 2009, 09:59:49 PM Kai, nice video of the open semi.
