This was my first festival and I'm proud to say I'mm hooked for life.
 I agree with most comments posted above especially the ones about the potties
 I brought my own t.p. on the Sunday. 
 Keep your eye on THE EYE.

With the completion of the 2006 Alcan Dragon Boat Festival, how did you like the overall racing format/competition/marshalling?

If possilble, if you complain about something about the racing, please provide some constructive feedback/suggestion. This will help us better, next year....

BTW: No one is complaining about the Gemini's? What gives?

Thanks

The geminis suck.

Yeah - the retrofit makes some people more comfortable. But I've still got bruises on the outside of my leg from the damn pipe (and moving the seat without somehow taking into account how people would brace seems silly to say the least).

Next year can't we just go all 6-16? Or maybe get some BUKs?

as a visiting paddler, the ONLY bad thing i have to day about the alcan tournament is the piece of $#!# geminis.  the were horrible before the retrofit and even worse after.  i wanted to attach a basketball backboard to those damn pipes running down the side of the boat.  what an embarassment.  HOWEVER, all of the boats equally sucked which was actually good for racing.  the gemini'\s actually provided a more fair race than the 6x16s since it seemed the boats in lanes 4 and 5 which much newer and lighter than the boats in the outer lanes.  the difference in appearance alone told us the boats were not evenly matched.

I will say for the most part the whole event was well run. The only negative comment I have, and of course it has nothing to do with the racing side of things, is the high cost of the booze in the beer garden. It seems that prices keep jumping up every year. We are now paying the same as you would in a bar for crying out loud! I thought the purpose of a beer garden was to keep the cost of a well deserved alcoholic beverage reasonable so that you can buy all your fellow teammates/paddlers a bevy. But all in all it was well run Puppy! You rock man!

If you would stop buy Colossus Beer, then you would think the price of beer is resonable...speaking of which, where is my beer? Did you buy your team any beer?

You know Puppy they do deserve a reward considering how well they placed in just their 2nd year! But no I did not as I will wait until after Kelowna to reward them. They have already met a lot of my expectations and I believe they will even meet or beat some more before Kelowna. BTW I do owe you a brewski... its just a matter of when and where! LOL
