Team Captains: 

 

To promote good sportsmanship and fairness, please follow these racing division/class guidelines when forming and registering your teams:  

  

Community/Corporate Teams – division is for novice crews with little or no experience of racing.  Examples are crews representing corporate (commercial/ business), community organizations (i.e. Fire, Police, EMS, schools, fitness centers, etc.) and Friends/Family groups.   

For Paddle for Pink, Community teams are not members of dragon boat organizations or clubs and typically race one festival a year, but not more than three festivals.   

Teams who are not true community teams will be moved to the Sport Team division.  
 

NOTE: ALL COMMUNITY/CORPORATE TEAMS WILL SCHEDULE THEIR ONE FREE PRACTICE ON THIS PADDLE FOR PINK WEBSITE WITH THE MACHESTIC DRAGONS.  

The practice schedule can be accessed by Team Captains by following the "Practice Schedule" link under "Registration Info" above. 

  

Club/Sport Teams - this division is for crews experienced in racing, paddlers are generally members of dragon boat organizations or clubs, have access to boats and equipment (owned or rented) for practices during the paddling season and has more practice experience than the (1-3) practices the festival host provides.  
  

Breast Cancer Survivor (BCS) is a separate division. Paddlers must be survivors and may be inclusive of female and male crew members. Drummer and steer may be non-BCS. A breast cancer survivor has been defined by the International Breast Cancer Paddlers’ Commission as “a person who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.”
