This time we can safely say you're not being too stupid....  Wink

Check with your team manager, it was probably e-mailed to them.

Well this sucks! My team manager (the true team manager) is out of town and I can not get into his email address. Anyone wanna send me a copy to my email address? Please send to [email protected].

Thanks and good luck to all teams this weekend!

Ok I will be the first to predict just the winners in the first round.

In race #1 I think its a no-brainer, FCRCC.

In race #2, I have no idea since I am not familiar with Draco and E&C have usually been a pretty competitive bunch as well. I would say pick 'em between Draco, E&C and Phat.

For race #3, and no disrespect to Ready Jet Go! but I think RGL has that one.

For race #4, another no brainer with Scotia.

And lastly for race #5 I think the EOTD+Magnum combo should take it. It would appear Red Fusion could be the favorites but if 60% of Magnum and 40% of EOTD merge, that combo can really pull it together as one solid team. Both EOTD & Magnum placed in higher divisions at the RTADBF in June.

Your Phatties are ranked to win the race and you're not going to predict them as winners?????

Draco came 4th in Group C last year, just behind E&C.. and your team was in Group A.

Unless the Phish have gone backwards since last year, they should take this race easily.

IIRC, the two teams have improved since then.

FCRCC are pretty much no-brainers for all the races, unless they catch the wrong flag again. Wink

I predict bad stomach cramps and other fun side effects from too much spicy food and kicking over at least one kid....
Don't forget the interesting entertainment and bad karaoke.
U mean there is racing also?
I better take pics.....

BernMan, PM me if you still need a copy of the Race Grid (if by chance, no one has sent you one since 3PM today lol)

In race #2, I have no idea since I am not familiar with Draco and E&C have usually been a pretty competitive bunch as well. I would say pick 'em between Draco, E&C and Phat.

And lastly for race #5 I think the EOTD+Magnum combo should take it. It would appear Red Fusion could be the favorites but if 60% of Magnum and 40% of EOTD merge, that combo can really pull it together as one solid team. Both EOTD & Magnum placed in higher divisions at the RTADBF in June.

I think its safe to assume that Phat Phish will take that round easily unless the team's roster is not at its optimum.

I do hope the logic of putting the best 60% of Magnum + best of 40% EOTD paddlers would make for an awesome hybrid team but for now i reserve judgement haha

The story is that they got DQ'd in the re-race against Eyes of Magnum for having only five girl paddlers instead of eight.
