 Signing On  
 It is a club requirement that all competitors sign on before each race using the club website. For visitors (who should be signed in with DCWW)  please ensure that the OOD knows who is crewing a given boat before the race.   Anyone not signed on may not get a result. 
 Pursuit Racing Results 
 It can sometimes be difficult for OODs to accurately establish all positions at the end of a Pursuit race so competitors should assist by noting which boat finished directly ahead and directly behind and advise the OOD accordingly.
