Registration Categories
Corporate: This is for groups entering from a for profit entity, or sponsored by a for profit entity, wishing to receive the recognition benefits of a for profit entry. Corporate teams have the benefit of promoting their business or sponsor through their team name, team uniforms (t-shirts), team tent decor and team bio which will be read over the PA system at the event.
Non Profit: This entry level is for businesses and organizations that are a registered non profit with the state of Florida. The same recognition benefits apply as in the corporate level. Tampa-based dragon boat or paddling clubs would fall into this category.
Community (local): This entry level is for a group of paddlers with no affiliation to a corporation or business, essentially friends and/or family members coming together to form a team.
Club or Visiting: This entry level is for established dragon boat club teams that practice together regularly, regardless of their competitive or recreational nature.
