- Represent your team through pre-event communications and during the event;
- Relay ALL information provided to you out to your team members to they are fully informed;
- Arrange for payment for your team's registration fee;
- Prepare the team roster and manage your paddler's online waivers with the High Five Dragon Boat staff prior to the event;
- Attend Team Check-In on race day;
- Attend the Team Captain's meeting on race day;
- Relay all pertinent updates to your team on race day (i.e. schedule changes and race progression);
- Ensure that your team members know when and where to be throughout the day;
- Assist High Five by ensuring that your team is following the rules (i.e. no alcohol consumption and water safety).
Team Rosters
HIGH FIVE will provide an email with a cloud document link to all Team Captains. Each Team Captain must populate the roster with paddler, drummer and steer person names. Once the cloud document is populated, the Team Captains will be able to view who has signed a waiver. High Five and Team Captains will have real time access to this document
Online Waiver
The online waiver of liability must be filled out by each and every team member who will be getting into a dragon boat during practice or on race day. The completed waivers should be submitted no later than Wednesday, April 15, 2020.
