Frequently Asked Questions
IBCPC Participatory Dragon Boat Festival
General
How did you arrive at the registration fee?
Who can register for the regatta?
Registration is open to teams that are members of the IBCPC: that is breast cancer survivors (no other cancers). All paddlers must have had a diagnosis of breast cancer, this includes the drummer and steer. Registrants may also be supporters of these paddlers but they must register as a supporter.
Does the early bird registration require team member names or just a booking deposit for a team name?
Just a booking deposit for the team with a minimum of 22 and a maximum of 26 at this stage.
Names of paddlers are not due until 2021. Once submitted will replacements be allowed if a paddler get sick or can’t attend?
Can paddlers be added to the team roster between registration and 2021 to increase team size?
Yes up to the maximum of 26.
How soon after registration will we be able to view accommodation options and what type a deposit will be required?
If we have more than 26 team members wanting to attend, do we advise total number or just register 1 boat at this time and add extra paddlers as composite members at a later date?
If we have enough to possibly register 2 teams, can we register a 2nd team at the same time? If we want to add a 2nd team at later date if we have enough interest, is that a possibility?
Will we also register supporters on July 1 or will those be added at a later date?
Regarding the waiver with proof of diagnosis. Some of our members had breast cancer over 20 years ago and no longer see an Oncologist. We also have been advised that most offices do not keep records more than a few years. What kind of proof is going to be required?
What happens if I wish to cancel my registration?
Can I transfer my registration/deposit to another person?
