Dragondollars was the onsite currency used as a control method for visitors to purchase food, etc, from the vendors.  I don't recall if those were around last year.  Its fairly normal for these types of festivals...

Bottom line is, the festival is cutting expenses (and so they should be), and in turn cutting out the expense to the visitor, which again, its about time.  Its already too difficult for the average person to come participate in the festival because of access, parking, etc, and then they have to pay to get in?  Good luck, the vast majority of the people who were coming were family members of the racers, with a few curious people thrown into the mix.  This year, with a little luck from mother nature, there may actually be a good crowd on hand to watch, and in turn could create a whole lot more interested paddlers for years to come.  I think it was an excellent move by the organizers, and hopefully this puts more emphasis back onto the festival itself (racing and cultural components).

 Subject: ADBF Race Schedule is NOT available yet


Hi all

As soon as the race schedule is available, I will post it here
http://www.adbf.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=downloads.listbycat&catid=5
and I will send an email to all team contacts (ie, the people receiving this
email).

Most likely it will not be out before Tuesday.

Thanks for your patience,

Advancements are based on points.

How does the Points system work?
