love it mapping guy....ask the question and you answer your own question....cool

haha puppy...I wasn't going to wait for you to post the results  :P

There are a lot of question surrounding the point system we used at nationals.  Here is a quick overview

 
To determine medals for nationals 1st 2nd and 3rd, 200m 500m and 2000m races were used in the calculation. In an event of a tie, the team who won the 500m would be declared the winner.  

If you want to see how your team did, please look at my facebook page.

The matrix is based on number of teams entered and placement. The more teams and the higher placement earns the most points. Look at page 22 of the dbc rules..

Now to determine which clubs to represent in Italy,  this is based on another calculation.  This is only based on 200m and 500m races.

Currently dbc canada is verifying all team rosters from elk lake, to ensure eligibility. Results will be psoted shortly.



6. Awarding of CCWC Entries

 6.1 DBC awards CCWC entries on the basis of the 200/250m and 500m distances of the Racing Class.  Therefore, a Club Crew is required to compete in both distances within a Racing Class at the Race Off Regatta to be considered for entry at CCWC.    

6.2 There may be only one entry awarded per division and class to each club.  

6.3 If only one eligible entry registers to compete in a Racing Class at the Race-Off Regatta, the Club registering that entry will be awarded, by acclamation, the CCWC entry for that Racing Class.

 6.4 If more than one eligible entry registers to compete in a Racing Class at the Race-Off Regatta, the registered Crews shall compete against each other over all distances within the Racing Class and points will be awarded on the following basis:  1st place: 10 points  2nd place: 5 points  3rd place: 3 points  4th place: 2 points  5th place: 1 point

  6.5 If the number of Crews in a Racing Class is the same as or less than the number of lanes, the Crews will compete against each other over the distances of 200/250 meters and 500 meters.  Each race will be considered a final and points will be awarded on that basis.  

6.6 If the number of Crews in a Racing Class is more than the number of lanes, the Crews will race against each other in elimination heats over the distances of 200/250 meters and 500 meters before proceeding to a final for each distance.  The Crews remaining after the elimination heats will compete against each other in a final and points will be awarded on that basis.

  6.7 If two or more Crews are tied in points for the 5th spot after completing races under section 6.4 or 6.5, the awarding of entries will be determined by the results of the 500m final
