Title: Alcan predictions Post by: Rob on June 20, 2014, 03:36:54 PM Anyone want to make Alcan predictions? Are the Dreadnoughts going to be the Cinderella story of Alcan?
Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: mappingguy on June 20, 2014, 09:24:45 PM 1) Kia Ikaika
2) One West Red 3) Gorging Dragons 4) FCRCC Premier 5) CIBC Imperial Dragon 6) One West 7) DH Beats 8) Dreadnaught It will be an all Canadian Finals. And for the Open Race....most definately One West/CIBC. Also..some food for thought..has the last team to start the guts and glory ever beat the first team to start? (regardless of boat type) Is it even possible? Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: vicpaddler on June 20, 2014, 10:39:33 PM Looks like the strongest lineup at Alcan for some years. I think you got most of the fast teams listed although a little birdy says to watch out for Bang...
Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: mappingguy on June 21, 2014, 11:23:11 AM Correction.... It won't be a all Canadian Finals. Kia is from Portland.
Also... who the shoe is Bang? We could be hearing the US Anthem this year... Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: mappingguy on June 21, 2014, 11:28:15 AM On race site.... Times are considerably faster in the later heats. The flags are blowing towards science world

Kai Kia Ikaika One West Black BANG (Bay Area New Gen) FCRCC Premier CIBC Imperial Dragons You heard it here first. Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: Guts and Glory on June 21, 2014, 06:18:17 PM Going for the darkhorse - Gorging to win Comp A.
Kai and FCRCC to round out the top 3. Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: Backward Rowing on June 21, 2014, 08:34:54 PM Vancouver stations reported tide today in meters and wind in km/h

Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: mappingguy on June 21, 2014, 09:45:34 PM There were a lot of sub 2min times today. A lot more than I've seen in years.
Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: brainiac on June 22, 2014, 11:54:15 AM There were a lot of sub 2min times today. A lot more than I've seen in years. No surprise with that big flood tide. If the westerly starts to blow this afternoon, look for extremely fast times for the finals.

I watched the last three finals: Rec A, Comp B and Comp A finals and all boats appeared to be well seeded. The boats in each heat were spaced no more than a half a boat length apart. Great job G2G Management as always! To One West...a dominating performance this weekend taking top spot in the Open, Women, Mixed and both GandGs. I'm glad I was able to give you a little extra motivation with my second place prediction this year. :) To a female paddler on One West... I guess you didn't take up my challenge of paddling backwards to give us a chance during our race together. :P To all Cali teams..thanks for coming....the festival wouldn't be the same without you. Enjoy the rest of stay in Vancity and have a safe trip home. To the Windy Pandas from London....hope you had a great time in Vancouver. I wonder if the caller from Starbucks Waverunners knew there were fellow brits on site? To Skinny Fish: Adversity will make you stronger. FCRCC premier... Nice to see Mr. Useful excelling within the fcrcc program. To all other teams...have a great summer and keep paddling! Title: Re: Alcan predictions Post by: tjl on June 27, 2014, 10:16:40 PM Results compared to pre-race seeding (i.e. actual versus pre-race predictions):
Code: Finish Seed Team Pre-race seeding is based on first race lane: 4 = 1-12 5 = 13-24 3 = 25-36 6 = 37-48 2 = 49-60 7 = 61-72 1 = 73-84 8 = 85-96 +/- next to finish number indicate finish higher/lower than the pre-race seeding range. The biggest "misses" in the pre-race seeding for the high-finishing teams were that Catch 22 and AeroDragons Dragon Boat Club were significantly underestimated.
