Dragon Boat Canada National Team Selection Protocol:
"One Application Received. If DBC receives only one application by the due date for a particular Racing Class, the National Crew Director who submitted the application shall automatically receive the right to select, coach and train the National Crew for that Racing Class".

"More than one Application Received. If more than one application is received by the due date for a particular Racing Class, then DBC will arrange a National Trial to be held among Crews selected by the contending National Crew Directors. The national trail for a Racing Class shall be held at a time and place to be determined by DBC, and in accordance with DBC Bulletins and Rules of Racing. Each member of a Crew participating in a national trail must be an Associate Member of DBC." So the Crew that wins their Racing Class, the National Crew Director will receive the right to select, coach and train the National Crew for that Racing Class.
