Date -
September 8, 2012. Rain Date: September 9, 2012
Venue - The races will
take place at the Festival Pier, aka School Street
Pier, on the Pawtucket River in Pawtucket, Rhode
Island.
Fees - All teams $750.
Payment is accepted by credit card, cash or checks.
Checks should be made payable to the Blackstone
Valley Tourism Council. Each team member will
receive a t-shirt, hat, and lunch, and each team
will be supplied with one team tent.
Directions - For event
site directions use
this map or following these
directions.
Course - The length is 1000
feet long and three lanes wide. Due to the weight of
the Taiwan boats and the event's focus on fun, the
course is shorter than those found at USDBF events.
The shorter course also enhances the experience of
the thousands of spectators along the shore.
Flag-Catching - Flag
catching remains part of the races so balance and
agility count. Each team
is required to have one
person designated as the flag catcher and is
identified as the person closest to the bow of the
boat.
Management - The race
heats, timing, scoring and all other related
administration will be under the auspices of
22Dragons of Montréal, Canada.
