You mean they really were aiming for me ?   If at first you don't succeed try and try again..hehe. It kind of reminded me of outrigger oc6 racing and at one point I actually grabbed their boat as they hit us and physically tried to push it off ,like i would in a oc6 race ,and yelled for everyone stay on it and keep paddling but then they called the race  ...haha ...it was a blast ! I'm bringing my oc6 blade next time .Big waves & collisons = big fun  |

As well as not checking for wristbands, I saw no signs that they were checking mixed teams for the requisite number of female paddlers....
Hopefully no teams exploited this apparent weakness in the system to their advantage.....

they called for female quantity check everytime my team was in marshalling so maybe you just weren't paying attention |

6. No checking for wristbands - maybe not necessary for fun festival Hey Alpha.......Fun Festival..........Sorry, its a BAAAAAAD memory I will one day get over. As well as not checking for wristbands, I saw no signs that they were checking mixed teams for the requisite number of female paddlers.... A team mentioned to me there was a team with 13 guys on the team. Apparantly they just by-passed marshalling and went and joined their team on the docks as they were loading. Accidental miscount? Hopefully.....Could have also been one of the Mizz Dragonboat contestants who went too far! |

I know that they asked our team once or twice at marshalling if everyone had their wristbands, but there was no obvious check. Who knows, they may have just been really observant and we didn't notice the checks, or it was forgotton when they were trying to play catch up in the afternoon.  |

a couple of those boats were the older ones with an extra seat, so its entirely possible they had 13 guys in the boat and still had 8 (or even 9) females.

I know the dock crew was keeping an eye on the number of women and men paddling. I also know that some guys sparing would come down to the dock to give encouragement to the team - ours did, but did not come into the boat. That may have caused some of this confusion.

Next year i hope the commitee decides to put into place a pre-start line on the water. That way they can have alignment before they approach the start line and 500 metre's is truly 500 metre's ( the race course was apparently GPS'd to exactly 500m but with the drift that was happening while the boats got aligned im sure that there was some discrepancy with the race lenght between the different heats)

Considering what happened last year, I would have thought that the Fraser Valley Committee would be checking for wrist bands and the number of females on the boat. The Committee appeared to be too relaxed this year.
As this is the 2nd annual festival, I'm sure that the Committee will get their act together for next year. Overall, I did have fun as I'm sure the rest of the teams that attended did also.
