Its only 6 days away people!   My top 5 predictions:
1. FCRCC mixed 1
2. Pac Reach 1 or DWW1
3. Pac Reach 1 or DWW1
4. FCRCC mixed 2
5. Roli Canada

Thats just from what i've seen based on results so far/what i've seen on the water and keeping in mind that i dont know who else is coming in from out of town.  (does anyone have a team list for Alcan?)

 You forgot about Kai ,Gorging ,Pemberton and then there is also the unknown about what the team from the phillipines will bring this time .Maybe a mixed crew or maybe a mens .......and don't forget about San Fran ..depends which team they bring as well .If its the A team from the dragon warriors they may be in the game as well

 I think its going to be a very tough A final but FCRCC will win mixed and mens ....ok maybe I'm bias,lol

 For the team info go to the Alcan website and look under teams

1.  FCRCC
2.  Kai A Kaika (sp?)
3.  Pemberton
4.  Pac Reach
5.  FCRCC 2
6.  Gorging
7.  Dragonauts
8.  DWW

Very similar to last year.  I think top spot is sewn up with Miss Kamini Jane's All Star cast and Kai should be a very strong contender being they're off to the WCC, Hugh Fisher's Pemberton crew and the rest will battle it out for 3-8.  It will be very exciting racing with only .001 of a sec separating these top crews. 

On another note and not to harass you Paddleboy, but why don't you use spell check  Idea instead of editing all of your posts?

here's my best guess:

1 FCRCC
2 Gorging
3 PR
4 Kai
5 DWW1
6 ROLI
7 Permberton Bald Eagles
8 Dragonauts
9 FCRCC 2
10 ???

Also the race grid is up!

Anyone know anything about the Dutch team, KLM Blue Dragons...?

Think they'll be the wild contender this year.

Top 9 in each Pool goes into the Competitive Semi.  Top 3 from each semi goes to Comp A.

Man this is tough.  I'm pretty darn sure we'll be seeing these teams in the final, it's the order that's tough to predict.

1. FCRCC1
2. PR1
3. Kai
4. Roli
5. DWW1
6. Gorging
7. Pemberton
8. FCRCC2
9. Ultimate or Acme

Looks like that's a photo a women's KLM team racing in UK. I don't think this is the 5th place team in Hong Kong and I don't think these are the people we're going to see in Alcan...

I agree with paddleboy about the team from the Philippines.  Half the team showed up last year for Sea Fest and showed us what they can do...Impressive!!!  With their unique style and power, they would definitely hold down the wildcard or unknown to this years Alcan festival, with a full mixed crew and all mens team...and jumble up the predictable standings for the Comp and Mens finals!!!  When I spoke to one of them, last year, they have competed in the world's before...I guess we'll only know for sure, this weekend, what the Filipino Youth Rowing Society has to offer!!!  See you all at Alcan...

 Just have to make sure the phillipine crews follow the rules ...........no standing or kneeling ...they have to be seated at all times .

actually, i just read through all 12 pages of the Alcan Festival rules as listed on their website, and there is nothing about having to be seated during the race.  i actually want to see their standing/kneeling technique.
